Coronet Head Quarter Eagle, Early Matron Gold Coins (1840-1907)
Coin number: MC228
Description: Early Matron Gold Coins (1840-1907), Designer - Engraver: Christian Gobrecht, Metal Composition: 90% Gold - 10% Copper, Diameter: 18 mm, Mass: 4.18 grams
The design on this coin is by Christian Gobrecht and is very similar to the one used on other coinage such as the $5 and 10$ coins of the same period. The points to check include the hair and stars on the obverse as well as the eagle’s neck and the left-hand side section of the shield on the reverse. The dentils on both sides should also be checked. As a type, this coin is rarely collected below the VF level.
