Liberty Quarter Eagles
1849-D $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 11-N. The base of the 1 is minutely repunched at the date is centered between the bust and border on this obverse, while the date is low with the 1 joined to the border on the less plentiful 12-N die pair. This example is one of four similar pieces that NGC has graded MS62, while PCGS has seen two at the same grade level. Neither service has graded any at higher levels (10/16). A thin planchet flaw between stars 1 and 2 will serve to identify this piece. This is the fourth distinct example graded MS62 that has appeared in our auctions over the last 23 years. The strike is bold with full hair and star details on the obverse, and full feather and claw details on the reverse. Both sides have frosty yellow-gold luster with delicate orange overtones.
From The Fenn Family Collection, Part III.
