Liberty Quarter Eagles
1852-D $2 1/2 AU50 PCGS. Variety 16-N. Coming from a mintage of only 4,078 coins, the 1852-D quarter eagle is scarce in all grades. Doug Winter estimates that fewer than 100 pieces are extant. The present AU coin displays surprisingly smooth wheat-gold color with partial luster in the protected regions of the fields. The strike shows some typical weakness on the eagle's neck and leg feathers. Population: 11 in 50, 35 finer (1/17).
