- Noteworthy Near-Mint 1842-D Quarter Eagle Rarity
1842-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 3-F, the only known dies. AU-58 (NGC).
This lustrous, boldly defined, high Condition Census 1842-D quarter eagle is overall satiny in texture with lustrous surfaces. Both sides display wisps of silver-rose iridescence to dominant golden-wheat color. The strike is exceptional by the standards of the Dahlonega Mint. Produced to the extent of just 4,643 pieces, the rarity of the 1842-D quarter eagle nearly rivals the 1840-D. Indeed, both issues have extant populations of only 100 or so coins, and both are particularly elusive in grades above EF. Although a few more AU examples exist for the 1842-D, Doug Winter (2013) opines that there are only one or two Mint State coins known for this issue. Rare in its own right, the offered coin represents a particularly significant bidding opportunity since the few certified Uncirculated examples are seldom encountered in the open market.
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
NGC Census: 8; 4 finer (MS-62 finest). There are no examples certified finer than AU-58 at PCGS.
PCGS# 7725. NGC ID: 25GJ.
