- Seldom Offered 1854-D Quarter Eagle
1854-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 18-N, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS).
Offered is a very well preserved survivor of this low mintage, key date rarity in the Southern gold series. Rich honey-gold surfaces exhibit warm medium rose overtones. Ample satin to semi-reflective finish remains and the overall definition is bold for this challenging issue. Not all that far from Condition Census per Doug Winter's 2013 listing, this remarkable quarter eagle is among the most significant Dahlonega Mint gold coin offerings in this sale. It is among the most attractive coins for the issue that we have ever offered, in fact, and will certainly find its way into another advanced cabinet.
Yearly quarter eagle production at the Dahlonega Mint continued to fall through 1854, with only 1,760 examples of that date produced. The 1854-D is the fourth rarest issue in this Southern gold series, and it is likely that no more than 90 or 100 coins are extant in all grades. VF and EF are the typically encountered grades, while anything finer is exceedingly rare and seldom offered.
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
PCGS Population: 5; 14 finer, just five of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest).
PCGS# 7771. NGC ID: 25HZ.
