- 1859 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Breen-6245. Type I Reverse. AU-58+ (PCGS). Lustrous pinkish-honey surfaces are sharply to fully defined over virtually all design elements. The Philadelphia Mint produced only 39,364 quarter eagles in 1859, a figure that includes both the Type I and II Reverse hub varieties. The old Type I Reverse style offered here is markedly scarcer, especially in the finer circulated and Mint State grades. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 23 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 97788. NGC ID: 25JK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
