- Important Mint State 1859-D Quarter Eagle
1859-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).
Bright yellow-gold color dominates this stunning Mint State example, accented by hints of reflectivity in the fields. Satiny luster remains in the protected areas and emphasizes the overall bold detail. The strike is clearly superior for the issue, with pleasing detail to Liberty's hair and the eagle's lower feathers. Smooth, attractive, and sure to sell for a premium bid.
After a one year hiatus, the Dahlonega Mint returned to quarter eagle production in 1859 with a delivery of 2,244 coins. This is the final Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle, and it is a median rarity in its series from both absolute and high grade standpoints. The typical survivor falls somewhere in the EF-40 to AU-53 grade range, seldom AU-55 or AU-58, and rarely even in the lowest Mint State grades. The present example is among the finest known to the major certification services, with only 6 coins graded higher by PCGS.
PCGS Population: 5; 6 finer.
PCGS# 7789. NGC ID: 25JM.
