1851-O NGC AU-55 US $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle Gold Coin

The $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle was minted from 1840 to 1907 by the U.S. Mint along with its larger counterparts: the $5, $10, and $20 Liberty coins. 

It reflects America’s economic evolution throughout the 19th century, thanks to Christian Gobrecht’s design, renowned for its 67-year production run as the longest unchanged design in U.S. gold coinage history.

The coins issued in the New Orleans branch bear the “O” mint mark.

Today, SD Bullion offers 1851-O $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagles, graded as AU-55 by NGC.

The Design

The reverse displays the Heraldic Eagle with outstretched wings, the national shield on its chest, arrows, and an olive branch on its talons.

The inscriptions refer to the nation’s name and the coin’s face value, and the “O” mint mark.
