Description

Lustrous 1844-D Quarter Eagle, MS61

1844-D $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 5-H. Two varieties are known for the year, from a common obverse die. This reverse has the tip of an arrow feather visible inside the mintmark, while the other reverse has a clear mintmark. Although some choice pieces are known, many examples are found with planchet problems, heavy abrasions, or poor strikes. Most specimens show thick, frosty luster, and clash marks are invariably present. The present piece is an attractive Mint State coin with sharp design features and lovely greenish-gold luster. Light clash marks can be seen in the fields, more prominently on the reverse.
