Description

Desirable 1852-D Two and a Half, Near-Mint State

1852-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. The current offering is a survivor from a mintage of only 4,078 1852-D quarter eagles. Most of the extant examples of this rare issue exist below the AU level. As of (7/08) NGC has certified 13 pieces as AU58, with only seven finer. The numbers at PCGS are similar: 13 in AU58 and five graded higher. A break in luster in the fields keeps this piece from an Uncirculated designation, although the surfaces are remarkably clean and pleasing to the eye.(Registry values: P2)
