Description

1907 $2 1/2 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle, PCGS MS-65. This final year of issue for the iconic Liberty Head quarter eagle represents a significant milestone in American coinage history. Designed by the legendary Christian Gobrecht, this 1907 Philadelphia Mint specimen showcases the elegant profile that defined the series from 1840 through 1907. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin exhibits the warm luster and sharp striking characteristic of the final production year. Graded PCGS MS-65, this example demonstrates exceptional eye appeal with well-preserved surfaces and lustrous fields. The technical specifications are consistent with the denomination: 4.18 grams, 18mm diameter, and reeded edge. The Philadelphia Mint mark confirms its origin during a year that produced 336,294 pieces. From a market perspective, this date holds particular significance within the quarter eagle series. Population data indicates 1,442 total PCGS-graded examples across all grades, with 742 in grades higher than this specimen. Despite these relatively robust numbers, the 1907 remains highly sought by collectors completing Liberty Head type sets. As the final year of the design, it carries numismatic importance beyond its availability, making it an essential acquisition for serious quarter eagle collectors.
