Description

1844-D Quarter Eagle, AU58
Ex: S.S. New York

1844-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Winter 5-I. Ex: S.S. New York. Both silver and Southern mint gold coins were recovered from the S.S. New York shipwreck. The ill-fated sidewheel steamer sailed into a Gulf of Mexico hurricane in early September 1846. Some 150 years later, a remarkable hoard of Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans coins was brought up between the mid-1990s and 2007. The coins were auctioned in 2008 and 2009. This exceptional 1844-D quarter eagle was among those discoveries, now certified AU58 by NGC. Frosty green-gold surfaces are bright and lustrous, with little loss of eye appeal in spite of the long, subsurface sojourn.(Registry values: P2)
