1856-D Quarter Eagle, VF35
Only 874 Pieces Struck

1856-D $2 1/2 VF35 PCGS. Variety 20-N. Doug Winter calls the 1856-D the rarest Dahlonega quarter eagle overall. Only 874 pieces were struck, marking the lowest mintage of any Dahlonega two and a half. Winter estimates that only 40 to 50 pieces survive in all grades. This Choice VF example is housed in an old green label holder. The surfaces have smooth olive-gold patina and relatively little wear. Much of the central design weakness is due to a poor strike, not circulation. An essential acquisition for the specialist of Dahlonega gold. Population: 1 in 35, 30 finer (10/18).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25J9, PCGS# 7779, Greysheet# 8379)
