<Our item number 114260><B>1843-D &#36;2.50 Liberty. Small D. NGC graded MS-61 Crosslet 4.</B> Bold strike, untoned with luster. It is in an exalted frame of mind that we describe this very rare 1843-D quarter eagle for bidders. For it has bright yellow gold with strong luster, or to be more precise, very frosty luster, on both sides. And if one were to conduct a poll among quarter eagle fanciers, we&#39;d see that the strike is nonstandard for the issue in being sharp with the excellent metal flows on both sides into the deepest die recesses; in other words, a very bold strike. The most plentiful of all Dahlonega quarter eagle issues, 1843-D has, all the same, a desirable presence at the grade assigned to it by NGC.<BR><BR>The date logotype is small and thus fits in the space between the neck and denticles with room to spare. On the reverse a barely visible die crack angles in from the rim through the F in OF and on down to the junction of the eagle&#39;s wing and shield. <B>Pop 10; 4 finer, 3 in 62, 1 in 63 </B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7730&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;8,000-9,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 114260<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114260.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114260N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
