Liberty Quarter Eagles
1857-D $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 21-N. Boasting a small mintage of only 2,364 pieces, the sought-after 1857-D quarter eagle is scarce in all grades. Doug Winter's respected estimate is only 125 to 150 survivors overall, with likely no more than a dozen true Mint State pieces known. The present MS61 coin is near the Condition Census, and its semireflective straw-gold surfaces offer pleasing original luster. Light, scattered surface marks determine the grade, but none are individually noticeable. The strike exceeds norms for Dahlonega quarter eagles from this mint, showing bold definition of the hair curls, stars, and eagle's legs and talons. A couple of subtle alloy discolorations appear on the reverse right of the eagle's head and around the ME in AMERICA, respectively. Census: 10 in 61, 5 finer (10/16).
