Lot 1689
One of the Top Dozen 1855-D Quarter Eagles. PCGS graded AU-55. A glance at the PCGS Population Report reveals that this date is unknown in Mint State, which is confirmed too by NGC. The combined population of both services is 10 coins in this grade, but only PCGS has graded 2 better as AU-58. Therefore, this coin is likely tied with several others as the best that can be obtained. Frosty luster in the fields, the devices are well struck and pleasing to the eye. If one must fuss, there is some weakness along the reverse rim, but the eagle is sharp. As nice a coin as anyone is likely to find of this date, and worthy of the finest collection. An important and rare opportunity!
