The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1842-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter 3-F, the only known dies. EF-45 (NGC). Trailing only the 1840-D, the 1842-D is the second-rarest Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagle dated prior to 1853. The original mintage for this issue is a mere 4,643 pieces, and survivors are similar in overall rarity to those of the 1841-D and 1852-D deliveries. A mostly olive-orange example with minimally haziness that is not readily evident at all angles, this piece is quite boldly defined for a lightly worn Dahlonega Mint gold coin. There are no sizeable abrasions to report, although accuracy does compel us to mention a somewhat glossy texture to the surfaces that points to a light cleaning.
