The Liberty Head Quarter Eagles, also known as the $2.50 gold pieces, were minted in the United States from 1840 to 1907. The 1848 Philadelphia minting is particularly notable as it coincides with the California Gold Rush, which significantly influenced the gold supply and coinage in the U.S. The design features a Liberty head on the obverse, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield. These coins are popular among collectors for their historical significance and gold content.
