The Liberty Head Quarter Eagle, also known as the Two and a Half Dollar coin, was minted in the United States from 1840 to 1907. The 1861 issue is notable due to its relatively low mintage and historical context, as it was struck during a tumultuous period in American history, just before the Civil War. Collectors often seek this coin for its gold content and classic design, which features the Liberty Head emblematic of the era, making it a significant piece for numismatic enthusiasts.
