1851 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Early Quarter Eagles
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1851 $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Early Quarter Eagles such as this one represent an excellent value for the type collector. Unlike its Five and Ten Dollar counterparts, there is not a "No Motto" equivalent in the Quarter Eagle series. As a result, little premium is placed on high grade examples such as this from the early 1850s. The first thing one notices about this piece is its lovely, thick, satiny luster. It glows, unaffected by abrasions on either side, with a touch of light reddish patina. Sharply defined on the obverse, only on the reverse does one notice a bit of weakness, that being on the left (facing) leg of the eagle, as usually seen. Population: 29 in 64, 5 finer (4/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
