Spectacular MS62 1843-D Small D Quarter Eagle

1843-D $2 1/2 Small D MS62 PCGS. Variety 4-D. The 1843-D is one of the more obtainable Dahlonega quarter eagles with a mintage of 36,209 pieces. This number exceeded the combined production of all four of the previous years from this mint. Of that number it is estimated that today 225-250 pieces are extant in all grades, but it is an issue that is rarely seen in mint condition. It is also one of the better produced D-mints and the strike on this piece is much stronger than seen on most other years. The fields are bright and semireflective with a mild accent of reddish patina around the margins. According to Doug Winter's Condition Census this coin may be the second finest example known. That determination is clouded somewhat by multiple resubmissions and subsequent population numbers that are inordinately high.(Registry values: P1)
