Description

1913 $2½ Gold Liberty Head Quarter Eagle - NGC MS-63. A splendid example of the last decade of Liberty Head quarter eagle production, this 1913 $2½ gold piece represents a significant moment in American numismatic history. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the final years of this classic design, the coin showcases the elegant artistry of Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head motif that graced quarter eagles from 1840 to 1907. Certified by NGC with a Choice Uncirculated MS-63 grade, this specimen displays exceptional preservation for its era. The golden-honey luster typical of early 20th-century gold coinage is evident, with minimal marks and strong underlying mint frost. The strike appears crisp, with detailed hair details and sharp device definition characteristic of high-grade pre-1933 gold coins. The 1913 quarter eagle mintage represents a transitional period in U.S. gold coinage, just before the introduction of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' revolutionary design. As a near-gem example, this coin will be an attractive addition to specialized gold type collections or as a premium representative of early 20th-century American gold coinage.
