1850-O $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle AU-58 NGC
In 1850, the branch mint in New Orleans produced a limited run of just 84,000 gold quarter eagles. This particular 2.50 dollar denomination represents a fascinating era of American branch minting, struck from a composition of 90 percent gold with a net weight of 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. This specific coin has survived the decades in remarkable condition, certified by professional graders at an impressive About Uncirculated 58 (AU-58) level. On the obverse, the classic profile of Liberty is accompanied by the clearly legible date of 1850 at the base of the design. The reverse features the distinctive 'O' mint mark, a proud stamp confirming its origin at the southern facility in Louisiana.
