The Liberty Head Quarter Eagle is a classic American gold coin struck by the United States Mint, carrying a face value of $2.50 and containing 0.1209 troy ounces of gold at .900 fine purity. Graded MS61 by PCGS, this coin presents in Mint State condition, reflecting a piece that has survived without significant wear while retaining its original luster. We offer this coin as a random year issue, meaning the specific date will vary based on current inventory, though all examples meet the stated grade and metal specifications.
Quarter Eagles in the Liberty Head design series span a long run of American coinage history, making them a recognizable and actively traded format in both the numismatic and gold coin markets.

Quarter Eagles in the Liberty Head design series span a long run of American coinage history, making them a recognizable and actively traded format in both the numismatic and gold coin markets. The PCGS grade adds a layer of third-party verification that reinforces confidence for buyers who want authenticated, condition-certified gold.
The Quarter Eagle, denoting a one-quarter share of the ten-dollar Eagle denomination, has roots in the earliest years of American coinage. The $2.50 denomination was authorized under the Coinage Act of 1792, and various design types were produced throughout the 19th century before the Liberty Head design, commonly associated with engraver Christian Gobrecht and later refined by James Longacre, became the long-running standard series.
The Liberty Head design ran on Quarter Eagles from 1840 through 1907, representing one of the longest continuous design runs on any United States gold denomination. During this period, coins were struck at multiple United States Mint facilities, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Charlotte, Dahlonega, San Francisco, and Denver, reflecting the geographic expansion of American commerce and frontier settlements throughout the 19th century.
By the time production concluded, the Liberty Quarter Eagle had witnessed the California Gold Rush, the Civil War, industrialization, and the early 20th century monetary shifts that would eventually reshape American gold coinage entirely. Surviving examples in Mint State grades represent coins that escaped circulation, often preserved in bank rolls, estate collections, or original government holdings.
The obverse features a portrait of Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Thirteen stars encircle the design representing the original colonies, and the date appears at the bottom of the field. The portrait is detailed and dignified, a characteristic of Longacre's mature engraving style that gives the coin a refined classical appearance.
The reverse centers on a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, a shield on its breast, and arrows and an olive branch clutched in its talons. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs above, with the denomination expressed as 2½ DOLLARS beneath the eagle. The overall composition follows the conventions of 19th century American coinage, combining national symbolism with a structured, balanced field.
At the MS61 grade level, the coin retains full luster with contact marks visible to the naked eye, particularly in the fields. These marks are a natural consequence of mint bag handling and do not represent wear or circulation. The devices themselves remain sharp and well-defined at this grade, preserving the fine detail of both the portrait and the reverse eagle.
At 0.1209 troy ounces, the Liberty Quarter Eagle represents a fractional gold holding that occupies a practical position for buyers who want exposure to gold content without committing to a full one-ounce piece. The smaller format allows for more precise allocation of funds across multiple coins rather than a single larger holding.
Fractional gold coins like this also offer practical flexibility in physical ownership, making individual pieces easier to manage, store, and eventually transact compared to larger denominations. For buyers adding to an existing collection or diversifying across multiple gold types, the Quarter Eagle format provides a meaningful unit of gold at a naturally lower dollar threshold per piece.
Each coin offered in this listing has been graded and authenticated by PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, which is one of the two most widely respected third-party grading services in the numismatic industry. PCGS encapsulates each coin in a tamper-evident holder that displays the grade, certification number, and coin identification, providing a permanent and verifiable record of authenticity and condition.
We are an authorized PCGS dealer, which means we operate within a recognized framework for handling and presenting certified coins. Every PCGS-slabbed coin in our inventory can be independently verified through the PCGS certification lookup, adding an additional layer of confidence beyond our own handling standards. The combination of third-party grading and our authorized dealer status creates a clear chain of accountability for every certified piece we sell.
MS61 is a Mint State grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale, indicating a coin that shows no wear on its high points but does display noticeable contact marks, typically in the open fields of the obverse or reverse. Luster may be slightly impaired in heavily marked areas. For collectors, MS61 represents a circulated-free coin at an accessible price point relative to higher Mint State grades, and for gold buyers, it represents a graded piece with verified metal content and an intact PCGS encapsulation.
PCGS-graded coins ship in their original sealed PCGS slabs, which provide physical protection and eliminate handling risk during transit. The hard plastic holder is designed to preserve the coin's current condition without requiring additional aftermarket storage materials. Because each coin in this listing is a random year issue, we will fulfill orders from available certified inventory that meets the MS61 grade specification, and the specific date will vary by order.
Pricing for the Liberty Quarter Eagle is anchored to the live spot price of gold, adjusted to reflect the coin's gold content of 0.1209 troy ounces. The premium above spot on this coin reflects several factors unique to its format: it is a historic United States gold coin, it carries a PCGS MS61 certification, and it trades in a market where numismatic collector demand intersects with bullion-driven gold demand.
The fractional nature of the coin also contributes to its premium structure, as smaller gold formats typically carry higher per-ounce premiums than full-ounce pieces due to production and handling costs relative to metal content. PCGS certification adds an additional layer of value that distinguishes this coin from raw, uncertified examples of the same type. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to present a clear and honest cost relative to the current gold market.
PCGS-certified Liberty Quarter Eagles are recognized and actively traded across the numismatic and precious metals markets, with a buyer base that includes both gold accumulators and date or series collectors. The PCGS slab and grade facilitate faster transactions by removing the need for the buyer to independently authenticate or evaluate condition, which is a meaningful advantage in resale environments.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform, so customers who eventually decide to liquidate their holdings have a direct channel to do so at competitive prices. The liquidity of a graded historic U.S. gold coin depends on both the gold content and the numismatic demand for the specific grade and date, and understanding that dynamic before purchasing is part of making an informed decision. Our bid pricing for certified gold coins is structured to reflect current wholesale market conditions across both the gold and numismatic dimensions of the product.
The Liberty Head Quarter Eagle occupies a unique position in the American gold coin market. It is a genuine 19th century United States Mint product with legal tender origins, giving it historical and numismatic depth that modern bullion coins do not carry. The PCGS MS61 grade confirms that the coin is free from wear while keeping the entry price at a level that remains accessible compared to higher Mint State grades.
For buyers who want certified gold with genuine historical character, this coin delivers on both dimensions. The combination of authenticated U.S. gold content, a recognized and verifiable PCGS grade, and the long-established collector market for Liberty Head gold makes this a well-supported product to own. The random year format also means buyers receive an authentic piece from the series without paying a premium associated with a specific key date or low-mintage year.
We have been buying and selling physical precious metals since 2010, building our reputation on straightforward pricing, product authenticity, and customer relationships that extend beyond the initial transaction. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association, membership in the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect a consistent track record in this industry.
As an authorized PCGS dealer, we handle certified coins with a level of familiarity and accountability that matters when purchasing graded numismatic gold. Every certified coin in our inventory is represented accurately, and the PCGS certification number on any piece we sell can be independently verified through PCGS's own database. We do not apply pressure-based sales tactics or obscure our pricing structure. What you see on our product pages reflects current market conditions, honest premiums, and transparent bid/ask spreads so you can evaluate the full cost of ownership before committing to a purchase.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on certified gold coins, including graded historic U.S. issues like the Liberty Quarter Eagle. Rather than navigating static retail price structures, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual wholesale market conditions, including how premiums and spreads on PCGS-certified fractional gold are behaving at any given moment. Portfolio holdings are valued using live wholesale bid pricing, giving a more realistic picture of current liquidation value than retail-based estimates.
For graded numismatic gold, understanding the relationship between the underlying metal content, the numismatic premium, and the bid/ask spread is particularly important. Pro members have access to proprietary research tools that allow them to compare products across those dimensions using objective market data, historical premium analytics, and liquidity metrics rather than relying on marketing descriptions alone. This is especially useful when evaluating certified coins where the numismatic component of the premium can shift independently of gold spot prices.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure checkout experience designed to protect your information and confirm your order efficiently.
Whether you prefer the immediacy of a card payment or the potential savings associated with wire transfer and check payments, we give you the flexibility to transact in the way that works best for your situation. Security and convenience are built into every step of the purchase process, from selecting your payment method through confirmed fulfillment.
