The Templeton Reid quarter eagle is immensely popular, as it is the only collectable issue from the United States’ first private gold rush mint. Although there are around two dozen examples known, locating an original, attractive example can be surprisingly difficult. A pair of mint state coins vie for finest-known honors and any problem-free specimen with luster should be considered condition census.
