- 1842-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter 3-F, the only known dies. AU-53 (NGC). This piece is quite sharply defined for a lightly circulated Quarter Eagle from the Dahlonega Mint. Even olive-gold color to both sides, the surfaces of which are silent on the subject of individually distracting abrasions.<br /> One of the rarer Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagles, the 1842-D (just 4,643 pieces produced) is just as challenging to collect as the 1841-D and 1852-D. Along with the 1856-D, this is the second-rarest issue in this Southern gold series in AU and Mint State grades.
