1853 $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle Gold Coin - XF
The US Mint introduced the Liberty Quarter Eagle along with the $5, $10, and $20 Liberty Eagle gold coins as a tribute to America's development in the 19th century.
Liberty Quarter Eagles were issued between 1840 and 1907 to fulfill the role of the $2.50 coins for widespread circulation.
The remarkable design, signed by Christian Gobrecht, became an icon of numismatics and is regarded as the longest-lasting design, enduring for 67 years without changes.
