This specimen is a coronet head quarter eagle coin minted and issued by the United States in AD 1843, with a face value of 2½ dollar.
The obverse of the coin features a profile portrait of the Statue of Liberty, wearing a crown inscribed with the word “LIBERTY,” adorned with 13 stars encircling the portrait as decoration. Below the portrait is the year of coinage, “1843.” The reverse of the coin depicts a spread-winged eagle with a shield on its chest, clutching three arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Surrounding the eagle is the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 2½ D.”
The mint mark of this series of eagle coins is located beneath the eagle’s talons. The letter “O” indicates that this coin was minted at the New Orleans Mint. The New Orleans Mint was established in AD 1838. At that time, due to the transportation of large quantities of gold to the southern United States being vulnerable to robbery, the American government declared the establishment of three mints in the South, with the New Orleans Mint being one of them. Prior to this, the Philadelphia Mint was the sole mint in the United States.
United States eagle coins were issued by the United States Mint from AD 1795 to the 1930s, in denominations of quarter eagle ($2.50), half eagle ($5), eagle ($10), and double eagle ($20). This coin belongs to the quarter eagle denomination, issued from AD 1796 to AD 1929.
This coin belongs to the design period of AD 1838 – AD 1866. Its features include the obverse portrayal of the Statue of Liberty, the LIBERTY crown, and without the banner above the eagle on the reverse with motto inscriptions.
