Description

One of the Finest Known 1844-D Quarter Eagles

1844-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Ex: Bass. Winter 5-H. Formerly sold as lot 150 in the Bass IV Sale, where the coin was described in part as, "Lustrous orange-gold in the fields with bright yellow lustre in the protected areas and on the high points. A delightful example of the date both aesthetically and physically. Very few marks of any consequence are seen with the unaided eye; toss in a needle sharp strike on both sides, and the appeal jumps dramatically above that of the assigned grade...Easily among the finest known examples of the date. The rarer of the two reverse varieties known for the date."
Ex: Superior Sale (2/75), lot 1004.
