Lustrous greenish-gold surfaces retain nearly full brilliance on both sides, and exhibit sharply struck design elements, save for the usual softness on the eagle's legs. This is a remarkable example of the date, one of the scarcest in the entire series of Dahlonega Mint gold coins. This issue was the last quarter eagle produced in Dahlonega, with a limited mintage of just 2,244 coins. Population: 22 in 58, 9 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
