The $2.50 quarter eagle occupies a distinctive place in American coinage. Too small for common use in international trade and rarely circulating in everyday commerce, these coins nonetheless were minted almost continuously for more than 130 years, beginning in 1796. Over that time, the denomination featured six different design styles, ranging from early Capped Bust issues to the popular Indian Head series.
Although often given as gifts--much like the tiny gold dollar--quarter eagles include some of the most famous rarities in U.S. numismatics, such as the 1841 "Little Princess" and the 1848 CAL. issue struck from California gold. Today, the series challenges collectors with its mix of accessibility and elusive treasures.
In A Guide Book of Quarter Eagle Gold Coins, award-winning author Q. David Bowers provides a definitive exploration of the denomination. With his trademark blend of historical insight and market expertise, Bowers examines the economic and political backdrop of the quarter eagle's history--from bullion legislation and bank panics to the gold rushes and Civil War hoarding. He presents a coin-by-coin analysis with full-color images, retail values in multiple grades, mintage figures, rarity ratings, die varieties, auction records, collecting strategies, and more.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of America's $2.50 gold pieces with A Guide Book of Quarter Eagle Gold Coins, part of Whitman's acclaimed Red Book Series. Spanning nearly 30 volumes, this trusted library delivers in-depth coverage of specific U.S. coin types and programs featured in the Official Red Book.
