1861 $2.50 New Reverse Liberty Head Quarter Eagle PCGS MS65 (CAC)
1861 $2.50 New Reverse
SKU: 45097497
Offered here is a superb 1861 $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle featuring the desirable New Reverse, certified PCGS MS65 and approved by CAC. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint at the opening of the Civil War era, this gold quarter eagle pairs broad collector appeal with the added numismatic interest of a distinct reverse variety, making it an outstanding choice for both advanced Liberty Head specialists and collectors seeking a premier, high-grade Type coin.
The “New Reverse” is easily attributed by the diagnostic round “O” in “OF” on the reverse. This small but important design distinction sets the Philadelphia issue apart from the Old Reverse style seen on the 1861 San Francisco quarter eagle, and it gives the date an extra layer of collectability beyond its already strong demand as a one-year historical milestone.
In Gem condition, the coin presents with rich, original gold color and vibrant, satiny luster that highlight the Liberty Head design and crisp reverse details. The MS65 grade underscores exceptional preservation, while CAC approval reinforces quality for the grade and eye appeal that discerning buyers look for when stepping into premium U.S. gold.
