<Our item number 83507><B>1859-D &#36;2.50 Liberty.</B> <B>NGC graded AU-58.</B> Only 2,244 minted. Light golden toning. Pop 37; 2 in 60, 3 in 61, 2 in 62. A significant rarity in the quarter eagle series, the 1859-D is the final date delivered in the Dahlonega Mint before the mint was closed forever. With an extant population of 120-140 pieces in all grades according to Winter and other experts in the field, this issue falls roughly in the middle of the rarity rankings among the 20 D-mint dates in the Liberty quarter eagle series. This is a nicely toned, reddish-gold coin whose surfaces retain ample leftovers of a frosty finish. The strike is mostly above-average, but a few of the typically affected devices do display some softness of detail &#40;hair curls over Liberty&#39;s brow, eagle&#39;s right leg feathers, etc.&#41;. A few abrasions are not out-of-context for the AU58 grade, and there are no conspicuous disturbances on either side. What it all boils down to is that this is a dramatic evocative coin o f the period that is far more carefully preserved that the typically offered Extremely Fine or low-end About Uncirculated &#39;59-D &#36;2.50 gold in today&#39;s market <B>&#40;PCGS # 7789&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;7,000-8,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 83507<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083507.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083507N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:glenn@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
