Liberty Quarter Eagles
1853-D $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. Variety 17-N. The 1853-D quarter eagle had a scant mintage of only 3,178 coins, ensuring its rank as one of the scarcer issues in the series, both in high grades and overall. Doug Winter estimates only 85 to 105 examples are extant, with just five or six being in Mint State; PCGS suggests the overall survival to be definitively below the 100-coin mark, and neither they nor NGC have graded any examples finer than MS62.
This lustrous yellow-gold representative is relatively free of major abrasions, exhibiting above-average eye appeal for the grade. The eagle's talons, left (facing) leg, and the hair curls around Liberty's face are not fully defined, though this is characteristic of nearly all 1853-D quarter eagles. The advanced Southern gold specialist will appreciate the importance of this rare offering. Population: 8 in 61, 3 finer (3/17).
