1843-D Quarter Eagle, MS61
Popular Small D Variety

1843-D $2 1/2 Small D MS61 PCGS. Variety 4-F. The 1843-D quarter eagle enjoyed a mintage of 36,209 pieces, the largest production total for the series. Because of its availability, the date is a popular choice with D-mint type collectors. Four varieties are known for the date, three using the older Small D mintmark and one variety with a Large D. The present coin has been misattributed on the holder as a Large D variety, but it is easily recognized as a late die state of the Small D variety 4-F by the fine die crack on the reverse from the rim above F to the juncture of the right (facing) wing and the eagle's neck. Examples in Mint State are quite rare in the current market.
The present coin is a delightful specimen, with warm reddish-gold surfaces. The remarkable, vibrant mint frost is only broken by a few small abrasions scattered about the fields and Liberty's bust. The striking details are sharp throughout, even on the usually weak eagle's leg. Population: 1 in 61, 7 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P1)
