Description

Prized Type 1843-D Quarter Eagle, AU50
Small D

1843-D $2 1/2 Small D AU50 NGC. Variety 4-D. The 1843-D quarter eagle is an available issue in the context of Dahlonega quarter eagles, with a "large" original mintage of 36,209 pieces. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 250-300 examples in all grades. The issue is prized as a mintmark type coin. Most examples seen are in lower grades, and the issue is surprisingly scarce at the AU level. The coin offered here features a sharp strike for a D-Mint coin, with slight softness on Liberty's curls and the eagle's feathers. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces show appropriate abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: P1)
