1867-S $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle MS-62 NGC

---

In 1867, the San Francisco Mint produced a mere 28,000 of the gold quarter eagles, making specimens from this specific run highly notable. Struck with the distinctive 'S' mint mark, each of these coins carries a face value of 2.50 dollars and was minted from a composition of 90 percent gold, containing 0.1209 troy ounces of the precious metal. This particular coin has survived the decades in an extraordinary state of preservation, earning a certified grade of Mint State 62 (MS-62). The obverse features the classic Liberty design, anchored by the clearly legible date of 1867 at the base. For enthusiasts of early United States branch mint coinage, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the post-Civil War era of Western gold minting.
