1845 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.，This is an impressive 1845 quarter eagle with the quality and eye appeal of a significantly higher grade. Warm medium gold patina blankets surfaces that are boldly to sharply struck and display full satin luster. The reverse exhibits modest semi-reflectivity in the field, as well as a bisecting die crack from below the fraction in the denomination to the rim just above the eagles left wing tip. The 1845 is one of the more available early date Liberty Head quarter eagles, with a generous mintage for the era of 91,051 pieces. While circulated examples are plentiful, Mint State survivors remain scarce. A find for the advanced gold type collector or specialist in this challenging series.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of May 1991, lot 553.，
