The First Lady Of Gold
The Gold Quarter Eagles struck from 1840 to 1907 show a classic 19th-century portrait of Miss Liberty on the obverse and an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on the reverse. An important gold coin, it filled the gold-coin gap between small and large transactions. But unlike other gold coins, it was never struck in large quantities. In fact, the highest mintage year in the series saw fewer than 2 million struck. About the size of a dime, many of these coins were lost, misplaced, worn out in circulation, or melted for their precious metal. Combined with their low mintages, this means that coins in higher grades like the ones offered here are hard to find.
Gobrecht’s Famous “Coronet Head” Design
This beautiful coin features the famous “Coronet Head” design created by Christian Gobrecht, who served as the U.S. Mint’s third Chief Engraver from 1840 until his death in 1844. The design features a large head of Liberty wearing a wide coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Her hair is pulled back in a bun and held in place by a string of pearls. Thirteen stars representing the original colonies encircle the design. Gobrecht’s fame as a coin designer lived on long after his passing as coins bearing his designs were still being struck more than 60 years later. Now you can own one of these coins graded by either the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Uncirculated Mint State-62 (MS62) condition.
