Lot 1199
1851-D. PCGS graded EF-40. We note a mark on Liberty's neck. Mostly untoned. Only 11,264 minted of which only 120 examples are estimated to have survived.
The circulation of 1851-D Quarter Eagles was extensive, with the result that the typical specimen encountered today is apt to be VF or EF, only very occasionally higher. Douglas Winter comments poignantly: "In my opinion the 1851-D is one of the more undervalued Dahlonega quarter eagles. It usually trades in the same price range as the 1849-D and the 1850-D, but it is scarcer, especially in high grades such as AU or better."
The date logotype is deeply impressed into the die, giving the numerals a bold aspect. Pop 10; 59 finer (PCGS # 7761) .
Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.
