1850 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle MS-62 NGC
In 1850, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 252,923 gold quarter eagles, representing a classic era of United States coinage. Struck without a mint mark, this $2.50 denomination piece is composed of 90% pure gold, containing 0.1209 troy ounces of the precious metal. The design belongs to the Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle series, which stands as a prominent representative of pre-1933 American coinage. This specific specimen has survived the decades in remarkable condition, earning a generic grade of Mint State 62 (MS-62). Finding coins from this era preserved in such high grade offers a rare glimpse into the crisp details and original luster of mid-nineteenth-century American minting craftsmanship.
