No more than 50 examples of the 1875 exist today!
Take advantage of this golden opportunity to acquire a great rarity in the $2.50 Liberty Head quarter eagle series. Writes David Akers, “This rare and popular date has the second lowest mintage of any quarter eagle regularly issued for circulation.” Just the 1854-S has a lower mintage. PCGS has graded 3 in AU53 with only 30 finer. Collectors Universe gives this issue a price of $22,000.00 in AU53.
The year 1875 is a historic date for gold collectors, especially those who collect the popular quarter eagle from the Philadelphia Mint. The 1875 quarter eagle had a dramatically low mintage of only 400 examples, and perhaps no more than 50 business-strike pieces survive in all grades today. Accordingly, the 1875 is one of the most sought-after issues of the entire series. Therefore, the 1875 $2.50 gold piece is a key date in all grades.
