With an impressively sharp strike in a Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle and a pleasing medium gold appearance, this piece is sure to appeal to Southern gold enthusiasts and mintmarked type collectors alike. The surfaces are uncommonly smooth for having seen light circulation, the fields revealing subtle pale rose undertones at direct viewing angles that further enhance already strong eye appeal. The highest mintage quarter eagle from the Dahlonega Mint, the 1843-D was produced to the extent of 36,209 pieces. While this is the most plentiful D-mint quarter eagle of the Liberty type, we caution bidders that all pre-Civil War Southern gold issues are scarce to rare when viewed in the winder context of U.S. numismatics. This is especially true of survivors grading above the Choice EF level, as here.,PCGS# 7730. NGC ID: 25GP.,,
