The Gold Liberty Quarter Eagle is the longest running in the series of $2.50 Gold coins produced by the Mint. The design was created by the revered Christian Gobrecht, the Chief Engraver for the Mint. An interesting fact about the Liberty Quarter Eagle, it did not receive the motto “In God We Trust” following the Civil War like some of the larger denominations with the same design. In 1904, the Mint produced over 160,000 Gold Quarter Eagles and only 6 coins have achieved the MS65+ grade by PCGS. Furthermore, the grade of the coin has been verified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces. They are a third party that verifies previously graded coins and award their sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.

The Indian Quarter Eagle was first released in 1908. What makes this coin unique in American numismatics is how the fields of the coin are raised higher than the rest of the coin’s de¬sign and have no raised edge. This is called an “incuse de¬sign”. In fact, this $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle carries the distinc¬tion of being one of only two designs in American history to use an incuse design. The other is the $5 Indian Half Eagle. The decision to strike coins like this was not well re¬ceived when they came out. However, today they are beloved by collectors. Having their production ceased in 1929, the $5 Indian Half Eagle was in production for barely 15 years, meaning that there aren’t many on the market. Out of over 500,000 coins minted, less than 1% of those coins have achieved the MS64 grade by PCGS, making this piece highly desirable by collectors.
In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the entire American coinage spectrum from the cent to the double eagle. Working in his studio in Cornish, New Hampshire (now a National Historic Site), the artist prepared many sketches. In failing health, Saint-Gaudens was able to complete or nearly complete work for just two denominations, the $10 and $20, both of which were first struck in 1907. This series would also represent the final $10 gold coin that would be used in circulation as currency and the collecting of $10 Gold Indians has created a specialty amongst collectors. Furthermore, the grade of the coin has been verified by the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC). CAC holds coins to a higher standard so collectors can be confident in the value of their pieces.
