1868-S Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).，Vivid orange-gold patina is seen on both sides of this wonderfully original quarter eagle. Sharply defined throughout with virtually complete mint luster, there is not much keeping this example from a full Mint State rating. From a modest mintage of 34,000 pieces, the vast majority of 1868-S quarter eagles were lost during an era when gold coins saw active and extensive circulation on the West Coast. This is a superior quality survivor, far finer than the typical example that often is heavily worn, if not impaired. Worthy of inclusion in an advanced collection.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of September 1992, lot 1510. Lot tag included.，
