详细说明

1859-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter-21M, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). The Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagle series passed into history in 1859 with a mintage of just 2,244 pieces. This conditionally rare near-Mint survivor exhibits minimal rub to rich-looking, reddish-khaki surfaces. Ample luster remains, and the devices are rather well defined despite a touch of characteristic striking softness here and there around the centers.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 1859-D is a median rarity in the Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagle series that ranks 12/20 in overall&nbsp;rarity and 13/20 in high-grade rarity. AU examples are more elusive than those of such other issues as the 1846-D, 1847-D and 1848-D.
