Description du lot

1853-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 17-N, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS). Glints of reddish-rose and powder blue patina mingle with warm honey-gold color on both sides of this attractive piece. The surfaces are lustrous for the grade with a soft, satiny texture that is free of worrisome blemishes. Areas of softness confirm a characteristic strike for this challenging issue, although most features are at least boldly rendered. A pleasing alternative to the Mint State 1853-D offered earlier, and a conditionally scarce coin in its own right. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Wasatch Collection of Liberty Quarter Eagles, October-November 2016 New York Signature Auction, lot 5461. PCGS# 7768. NGC ID: 25HW.
