Among the Finest Known
1856-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 20-N, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Offered is a Condition Census survivor from this fabled low mintage year in the Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle series. Close inspection reveals intermingled pale silver highlights that enhance an already pleasing appearance. The satin luster is nearly complete throughout and the strike is suitably bold for an issue that Doug Winter (2013) describes as "the worst struck Dahlonega quarter eagle." The eye appeal and exceptional preservation make this an important coin for advanced Southern gold specialists. With CAC approval at the PCGS AU-58 grade level, this example offers the finest in technical quality and eye appeal that many bidders will ever have the opportunity to compete for. We anticipate a strong realized price when our auctioneer finally hammers this coin to its new owner.
