Description

1907 $2 1/2 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle, PCGS MS-65. This final year issue of the classic Liberty Head Quarter Eagle represents a significant milestone in American coinage history. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with no mintmark, this 1907 quarter eagle displays the elegant design of Christian Gobrecht, whose Liberty motif graced American gold coins for decades. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 4.18 grams and measures 18mm in diameter with a reeded edge, meeting the standard specifications for the denomination. The PCGS MS-65 grade reflects exceptional eye appeal and preservation, with only minor imperfections visible under magnification. Population data indicates 742 coins have achieved higher grades from PCGS, with 1,440 total graded examples of this date, underscoring its relative availability compared to earlier issues in the series. Despite strong mintage figures of 336,294 pieces, uncirculated examples remain highly desirable among collectors. Historical Significance and Collector Appeal: The 1907 quarter eagle holds particular importance as the last year of the Liberty Head type before the introduction of the Indian Head design. From a market perspective, this date ranks as the most frequently encountered quarter eagle across major auction catalogs, and it remains the most available in uncirculated condition. This combination of historical finality, relative availability in premium grades, and strong collector demand makes the 1907 quarter eagle an essential component of any comprehensive Liberty Head gold series collection.
