Quarter Eagle · $2.50
1854 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle (1840-1907)
Key Features
The 1854-S Liberty Head quarter eagle is a legendary rarity from the first year of production at the San Francisco Mint, with a tiny mintage of only 246 coins. It is considered one of the 'Big Three' rarities of the San Francisco gold series, alongside the 1870-S half dollar and three-dollar gold piece.
Intriguing History
1854 was a landmark year for U.S. gold coinage: the San Francisco Mint opened to handle the flood of California bullion, even as this Philadelphia quarter eagle continued the denomination's more established production.
