In the realm of collectible coins, the 1861 Two and a Half Dollar, also known as a Quarter Eagle, is a notable piece of American numismatics. Struck during a tumultuous period in U.S. history, this coin is composed of 90% gold and features the iconic Liberty head design on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 1861 quarter eagle is particularly significant for collectors due to its association with the Colorado gold rush and the coinage's limited mintage, making it a sought-after item for those interested in both historical and monetary value.
