1852-D $2 1/2

Description

PCGS 1852-D AU 50. The 1852-D is the first in a string of seven rare, low mintage D-mint quarter eagles. Only 4,078 pieces were struck--a mintage that reflects tokenism according to Breen, as depositors preferred half eagles only. It has been estimated that 50-60 pieces may exist of this date, and that number may be on the high side. AU examples are quite elusive with the vast majority of survivors being only VF or XF. This piece is atypically well struck with strong obverse definition and complete denticulation, the reverse only shows slight weakness on the leg of the eagle, as always. Lightly marked, the surfaces overall are bright with a semi-reflective quality to the fields.
