Attractive Choice VF 1842 Quarter Eagle
Mintage 2,823 Pieces

1842 $2 1/2 VF35 PCGS. The mintage of only 2,823 circulation strikes, so long ago--this was the year that Constanze Mozart died, wife of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart--indicates the rarity of the 1842 quarter eagle. Garrett and Guth note that "examples sold at auction for more than $100 in the early 1900s, an enormous price for the era." This is an attractive yellow-gold piece that shows only wear consistent with the grade and the scattered light abrasions expected, none singular. An attractive example. Population: 2 in 35, 18 finer (7/10).(Registry values: P2)
