1901 NGC MS-62 $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle Coin
The $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle Coin holds significant numismatic value.
The US Mint first struck them in 1840 with a gold content of .1209 oz, designed for regular circulation with legal tender status and a two-and-a-half-dollar denomination.
The production of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagle continued until 1907.
Many $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle coins were lost during the economic collapse of the 1930s, similar to other Pre-1933 Gold Coins. Due to rising gold prices, these coins were hoarded and melted, enhancing their historical and numismatic value.
Today, SD Bullion offers the 1901 NGC MS-62 $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle Coin, encapsulated and graded as MS-62 by NGC.
