Lot 4399
1854-D $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Well struck with nice even toning. 1,760 minted. The 1854-D Liberty quarter eagle is a considered necessary issue in any collection of Dahlonega Mint Gold. The fact of its low mintage and long record in the numismatic annals gives it the status of a "classic rarity" in the series. Survival was hit or miss, and the examples sold in recent years (none too many) tend to top out in About Uncirculated 50 condition, this being the best most collectors can hope for. That is why when a fully lustrous example such as the MS61 in this lot gets offered, it creates a stir. The coin is well made for an issue that typical always found its way onto a poor planchet. Surfaces are free from Mint-caused flaws, with the only slight deficiency in strike being relegated to portions of the eagle and denticles. Pop 2; 2 finer in 62. (PCGS # 7771) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 23,000.
