I just bought this coin a couple of weeks ago. It is the only Philadelphia quarter eagle i own. A real rarity with about 50 know. It is also a condition rarity with only a single ms62 certified at PCGS. It is a beautiful coin to boot. Nice luster and my eyes really can't detect any real wear. Just wanted to share with the board what i think is a really cool coin.

Gorgeous original coin! Congratulations!
This is a favorite date of mine and I thought about buying the coin you purchased. Great coin!
I've still got about the best EF imagineable and you have likely the best AU around.
Congrats!

Good lookin' and rare, too!
Very beautiful coin...like Brian I like the year 1842...unlike Brian I don't have an EF of this one at home to console myself with...so I'm really jealous of your new pick up...I saw this coin but just didn't have the bankroll on that day to get it...the early P Liberty gold are very well made...many are quite scarce...and under appreciated...great coin!!!
That's absolutely beautiful. You have great taste. Enjoy!!!
Very, very nice old gold.... excellent acquisition... Congratulations on a real treasure. Cheers, RickO
Nothing beats the joy derived, on a personal level, more than acquisition. Okay, maybe the hunt.
That is a great coin with a great date in the series. Congrats!
Very Kool. There are a few sleepers in this series in the 40's and 50's that have very low survivors.
cool pick up
Very, very nice!
Great looking coin. Congrats

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
that is awesome and a wise investment - congrats!
great coin-really! so under valued too
Spent 8 hours on the bourse in Long Beach looking for gold coins like that.....couldn't find one!
Nice coin and a great date!
Yes. I am very pleased to have bought this coin. Not only is it very nice but also rare as many point out.
I would like to ask the experts here why this coin is not considered MS. I can't see any highpoint rub and the strike is strong. Is it that there are hairlines in the fields? I understand the limits of grading from an image. Thanks for your replies.
Cool.
Man, I can remember back in the 70's when you could glean through a BOX of Lib gold and most passed on the early ones for lack of luster.
Steve Ahajanian in SF had some source for an amazing quantity of US gold. I think there were San Franciscans laboring under the misapprehension of gold being "legal."
I always liked Steve's shop. Instead of a safe, he had MULTIPLE stacks of some safe deposit boxes he must have gotten from a bank going out of bizz. About 3 aisles of SDBs served as his safe. Course, HE knew which ones had anything in them.
Ah, nostalgia.
Very nice pickup! Congratulations
