Lot 3710
1859-D $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Light gold toning. Only 2,244 minted. Some mint luster evide3nt. Pop 4; 2 in 62. Uncommonly smooth with fully metallic, golden-amber features. Another scarce quarter eagle, this 1859-D too, displays a better than average strike on the legends and main device, which is unusual for the date, and only a small area of soft detail at the right claw and left leg feathers on the eagle. Some rim denticles are also flat, but this is acceptable in a D-mint rarity like 1859-D. The sale of this specimen will not be performed in silence. We expect to hear some active bids from the room as well as from bidders on the telephone represented by those at the table in the front of the room (PCGS # 7789) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 18,000.
