1857-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 20-M, the only known dies. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS).Handsome deep honey-orange patina with glints of more vivid reddish-rose iridescence enlivening the peripheries. Wispy hairlines and a touch of glossiness to the texture explain the PCGS qualifier, but the eye appeal is uncommonly strong for the assigned grade. Sharply defined overall, as well, with appreciable remnants of original luster. A scarce survivor from a mintage of just 2,364 coins that has much to offer the sharp-eyed bidder.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired October 1980.
