详细说明: 1842 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-58 (NGC). Offered is an exceptional Choice About Uncirculated survivor of an often overlooked Liberty Head quarter eagle issue. Deep olive-gold patina brightens to more of a golden-orange color as the surfaces dip into a light. Both sides retain ample evidence of a modestly semi-prooflike finish from the dies, the texture also including satin to softly frosted tendencies. Sharply to fully defined overall with strong eye appeal. Those who specialize in early date Liberty Head quarter eagles will recognize this unsung scarcity for what it is -- a low-mintage issue that has proven to be elusive in all grades. Only 2,823 examples of the 1842 were struck, and today's survivor is apt to be only VF or so. PCGS and NGC combined list just three Mint State grading events for this issue, the former service suggesting that perhaps just 50 to 60 examples can be accounted for today at all levels of preservation. If you mean to own a superior quality 1842 quarter eagle, you will do well to consider this sharp and inviting example. NGC Census: 5; 1 finer (MS-60 finest at this service). PCGS# 7723. NGC ID: 25GG. Click here for certification details from NGC.
