<Our item number 119351><B>1842-D &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50.</B> Untoned example with light semi-granular texture to the surface, possibly the condition of the die imparted this to the struck coin. Low mintage of 4,643. A rarity among Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagles, which is an open and shut case since most D-mint gold is elusive in the extreme! The 1842-D was produced in much lower numbers than others around it. Possibly fewer than a hundred coins exit in all grades. According to Douglas Winter&#39;s book on the series, the &#39;42-D ranks fifth in overall rarity. That said, in AU58, the coin ranks high in the Condition Census. Like other 1842-D specimens, this coin has a die-caused depression on Liberty&#39;s portrait on the cheek and upper neck. <B>Pop 4; 23 finer at NGC.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7725&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;7,000-7,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 119351<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119351.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www. goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119351N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119351N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
