A legendary rarity among Civil War era gold issues, the 1864 Quarter Eagles hails from a mintage of just 2,824 pieces. Attrition was also high due to the War, with most examples eventually melted for one reason or another. Only about 20 problem-free examples are known, just two or three of which are uncirculated! As such, we consider this date to be undervalued even in the mid to high 5-figure range! Well-struck and free of major bag marks, this example retains solid eye appeal and should garner no complaints for someone seeking this rare, problem-free date! - Liberty Head $2.5
