An 1843 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle at the Edge of Mint State
The 1843 quarter eagle NGC AU 58 is a $2.5 Liberty Head gold coin from the U.S. Mint, struck in .900 fine gold with 0.1209 troy ounces of actual gold weight. NGC graded it About Uncirculated 58, the top of the AU range, which means only slight wear on the highest points of the design. It carries a fixed 1843 date from the early years of the series.
Christian Gobrecht's Coronet Design
Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht created the Liberty Head design used on this quarter eagle, a type the U.S. Mint struck from 1840 to 1907. Liberty faces left wearing a coronet marked LIBERTY, ringed by 13 stars for the original colonies, with the 1843 date beneath. The reverse shows an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, along with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the 2 1/2 D. denomination. An AU 58 grade suggests the coin saw very little circulation, and NGC seals it in a holder that records the grade.

Weighing Grade and Gold Value
An early quarter eagle trades on more than its metal. The gold content tracks the spot price, while the AU 58 grade and the 1843 date add a collector premium that each dealer sets independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NGC AU 58 mean on an 1843 quarter eagle?
AU stands for About Uncirculated. A 58 is the highest grade in that band on the 70-point scale, describing a coin with light friction on the high points but most of its original surface intact.
How is the price of an 1843 quarter eagle determined?
Dealers start with the value of its 0.1209 ounces of gold at spot, then add a premium for the date, the grade and collector demand. Premiums vary widely between dealers, so compare their published prices before deciding.
