Lot Description

1860-S Liberty Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (NGC). Vivid reddish-gold surfaces are predominantly lustrous and also possessed of suitably bold definition. A few wispy abrasions in the fields are worthy of note, but most handling marks are small in size and singularly inconspicuous. Rare in all grades, the 1860-S is a heavily circulated Quarter Eagle from the early frontier era with a limited mintage of 35,600 pieces.
