<B>1857-S $2 1/2 AU50 NGC.</B></I> In the initial years of operation at the San Francisco Mint, the priority was placed on coining double eagles, which were needed by local bankers and traders within the bullion-based economy. Quarter eagles were struck only in limited quantities until 1878. This piece has noticeable golden-brown luster and a decent strike. Thin marks are present near the profile and at 6:30 on the reverse.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
