Description
The 1865 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle is a Gold Quarter Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagles 1840-1907 series.

Final year of the Civil War. Quarter eagle production remained at Philadelphia and San Francisco. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $7.1K to $120K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 4.18 grams, 18 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge.
