Owner's Comments

Pedigree: Millenium Collection, Toro Collection (2021). Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" states, "The 1867 quarter eagle is scarce, if not truly rare, in all grades. Most of the examples seen are circulated to some degree, and this date is very rare in full Mint State... Most of the high-grade examples seen have at least partially prooflike surfaces." They also indicate that the Finest Smithsonian Institution specimen is an AU-55 (as of 2008). David Akers' "United States Gold Coins - An Analysis of Auction records - Volume II Quarter Eagles 1796-1929" (1975) comments, "Very rare in all grades..." PCGS estimates the survival in all grades at 50 This coin does exhibit prooflike surfaces in protected areas.

Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

Very rare in all grades, although certainly not as scarce as the Philadelphia Mint quarter eagles from 1864 to 1866. Strictly uncirculated pieces are as rare as proofs, and the finest Unc. I can recall seeing was the gem in Paramount's 1973 NASC Sale.
