1861 Quarter Eagle (1861 $2.50 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle) New Reverse, PCGS AU58 CAC. Civil War Date. Despite having one of the larger mintages within the series, the demand for this date as a type coin and a memento of the Civil War is constant. Typically well struck, this first Civil War issue in the quarter eagle series has two types which are differentiated by old and new reverses. The new reverse type was issued in unknown quantities alongside the old reverse in 1859, 1860, and 1861 and features a modified reverse design with smaller arrowheads and letters.
The example offered here is a delightful light yellow golden color with honey and orange tones against the devices on the lower reverse. The strike is bold and defined giving the piece an overall superb eye appeal. Only the faintest hints of wear keep this “super slider” from achieving a significantly higher grade. CAC has reviewed and approved this piece as well attesting to its quality. Overall this is a superior Civil War quarter eagle sure to please!!
