Thanks for taking the time to share
So far as "quality" is concerned, this 1848 CAL. quarter eagle is not Unc.; it's an AU-55. But the history of this coin more than makes up for the fact that she has a little wear.
Here is her sister, the 1848 "plain" quarter eagle. This coin is actually rarer, but nowhere near as famous. Hence it sells for a lot less.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Love them all
I really like that coin too, but the image triggered my OCD and I couldn’t resist the urge to put it just a little bit closer to being perfectly round. It’s still not perfect, but round enough to allow me to stop. My iPhone has a decent proportion adjuster edit feature. But requires going back and forth with a circle maker app to make it work. If I went back and forth about 10 more times it be 100% round and in proportion. You have to turn the coin towards the axis of distortion and then stretch it sideways without making it crop the top of the coin off so can only do it about 10degrees per edit. I hope I didn’t overstep any boundaries in doing so.

I'm a BIG fan of brown copper myself, but it looks like that you have a very nice plain 1865 2 Cent Piece oih82w8.
