Lot Description

1843-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Small D. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. This is an exceptionally well struck coin in a Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle, both sides retaining ample sharpness of detail in the absence of all but light wear. Handsome honey-gold surfaces are also remarkably smooth for having seen actual, however limited commercial use. The highest mintage quarter eagle from the Dahlonega Mint, the 1843-D was produced to the extent of 36,209 pieces. While this is the most plentiful D-mint quarter eagle of the Liberty type, we caution bidders that all pre-Civil War Southern gold issues are scarce to rare when viewed in the winder context of U.S. numismatics. This is a premium quality example for both the issue and the assigned grade that is worthy of the strongest bids. Very nice! PCGS# 7730. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
