Description

Elusive 1840-D Quarter Eagle, AU55

1840-D $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A This issue is rare and underrated in all grades, and AU or finer pieces such as this Choice AU example are extremely rare. NGC and PCGS have combined to grade just nine finer examples of the date, including three Mint State coins. The reverse has heavy die cracks through the second T in STATES, the N in UNITED, and the M in AMERICA. The mintage figure of 3,532 coins goes a long way in explaining the rarity and especially conditional rarity of this Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle. Census: 7 in 55, 6 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25GC, PCGS# 7719, Greysheet# 8334)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
