    Graded by NGC as a MS-62 so I’m happy with it. An 1869 Round Liberty Quarter struck by a private mint in California. There is a G under Liberty on the obverse and 1/4 at 12 o’clock on the reverse signifying it’s a quarter.
    The first two photos show the slab and the last two photos show the coin.

    Is this the smallest US gold coin? Nice purchase by the way! :)

    Actually no, I don’t believe it is. Thanks. I was pleased to get this.

    Those are amazing and I have two, one is in a bezel and the other isn't, some day I gotta get mine graded as the grade takes it up in price! Yours is unique as it doesn't have the Cal, so that makes it special, to me anyways! :D

    Not sure how universally these are considered "US coins" (as opposed to private issues), but I'm not aware of any smaller US denomination of gold...?
