Description

1842-D Quarter Eagle, AU58
Late Die State

1842-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 3-F. The earliest strikes from this die pair, the only known variety for the 1842-D quarter eagles, exhibit a boldly repunched date. However, the recutting fades away on later strikes such as that offered here that shows only a trace of doubling below the 8.

This near-Mint example has bold design motifs with lustrous light yellow-gold surfaces that show trivial scattered marks. This example ranks high in the Condition Census. NGC has certified three MS61s and a single MS62, while PCGS has never certified a Mint State example of this issue (11/15).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25GJ, PCGS# 7725, Greysheet# 8339)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
