1843-D $2.50 Liberty. Small D NGC AU58
The 1843-D is the most available quarter eagle from the Dahlonega mint. It is relatively easy to locate in lower grades and only moderately scarce in the lower About Uncirculated grades but it becomes very scarce in AU55 or better. It is very rare and much underrated in Uncirculated with just four or five pieces known. Fortunately for collectors, the strike is extremely sharp (unlike many later D-mint quarter eagles) with the hair above the ear of Liberty nicely defined. There are also clear radial lines in the stars, complete wing tips and no poor strike on the eagle's legs. This is generally a well struck issue, yet is still one of the better detailed 1843-D quarter eagles we can recall having seen. (#7730)
