Lot 2128
1842-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. NGC holder 1825033-003. Lightly toned. Among the finest known examples of this rare and at one time unappreciated Dahlonega quarter eagle, one of just 4,643 pieces produced and with a current population of perhaps only 50 to 60 coins. The surfaces are very overlaid with "antique gold" toning, through and through they display a wonderful appearance. Not uncommon for this elusive issue, the strike is relatively robust, with the only evidence of soft striking found on the eagle's neck and leg feathers as well as the outline of the shield. Some of the original luster is intact under the toning and blushes of coppery color are seen here and there over each side. A coin that the next owner will respect very highly. Pop 7; 13 finer; 8 in 58; 4 in 61; 1 in 62. (PCGS # 7725) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
