1852-O $2.50 Liberty NGC AU58 CAC
The 1852-O $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle is a captivating artifact from the heart of antebellum America. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this coin is part of a beloved series produced between 1840 and 1907. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Head motif symbolizes strength, freedom, and enduring American values.
Minted in 1852, this $2.50 gold piece contains 0.12094 troy ounces of gold and features a reeded edge and a diameter of 18 millimeters. The obverse bears Lady Liberty in a coronet inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows — a proud symbol of peace and defense.
Coins struck at the New Orleans Mint (designated with the "O" mintmark) are particularly prized by collectors due to the facility’s limited production window and the scarcity of surviving specimens. This issue is sought after not just for its gold content, but for its Southern origin, historical context, and numismatic significance.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or an investor seeking historical U.S. gold, the 1852-O Liberty Quarter Eagle represents a timeless opportunity to own tangible American history.
