The Liberty Head quarter eagle, also known as the Two and a Half Dollar coin, was minted from 1840 to 1907 in the United States. The design features a bust of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Coins from the Philadelphia Mint, particularly those from the early years like 1840, are of significant interest to collectors due to their historical significance and relative scarcity. These coins are composed of 90% gold and are an essential part of American numismatics.
