<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1850-D $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. Variety 13-M. While the 1850-D is the most available Dahlonega Quarter Eagle from the 1850s despite a paltry original mintage of 12,148 pieces, Uncirculated examples are of the utmost rarity. Among the handful of coins certified as Mint State by the major services are a couple thought to be marginal Uncs by experts in the field. The extraordinary example offered here leaves no such doubts in the viewers mind. Its boldly struck surfaces are alive with rich frosty luster and tinges of coppery-orange patina are seen in the recesses. Only the presence of numerous wispy field marks tends to inhibit the grade. We feel relatively safe in labeling this remarkable 1850-D Quarter Eagle as the finest known since it exceeds any other example by two full points. Population: 1 in 63, 0 finer (4/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
