This 1869-S Pre-33 $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle Coin comes with an MS62 grade. This piece represents a scarce San Francisco Issue and boasts a strong Mint State condition. The design elements are well-struck and retain crisp definition for the grade level, while offering a golden luster that is pleasing to the eye and enlivens the classic early-19th-century design by Christian Gobrecht. The coin has a satin-like surface with no sizeable detractions.

For the reverse of the 1869-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle, the design features a heraldic eagle at the center, with its wings spread boldly as it grasps arrows and an olive branch in its talons, the traditional symbols of military strength tempered by a desire for peace. This side includes a US national shield on the eagle’s breast, with an S mint mark beneath the olive branch and arrows.

The 1869-S $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle is generally considered a scarce coin, with a mintage of just 29,500 pieces that places it among the lower-mintage issues of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagle series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during a period of considerable commercial activity driven by California’s gold economy, the coin saw active use in commerce, meaning that the vast majority of surviving specimens show meaningful wear. Well-preserved examples are eagerly sought by collectors pursuing date-and-mint-mark sets of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagle series.
