- An uncommonly well preserved coin for a lightly circulated early date Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle. Warm orange-gold color with deeper olive undertones. We note universally sharp Choice AU detail to both sides with plenty of soft frosty luster remaining. This year's mintage of 36,209 quarter eagles represents a significant increase in production at the Dahlonega Mint. Indeed, the 1843-D has the highest mintage in this mintmarked gold series up to that time and it is the most readily obtainable Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle in today's market. Most collectors will have to settle for a circulated coin, usually in VF or EF grade. About Uncirculated examples are scarce while in Mint State the 1843-D is very rare. In fact, this issue is not the most plentiful Dahlonega Mint $2.50 in high grades, as the 1844-D, 1847-D and 1848-D are all more prevalent in AU and Mint State.
