1850'D'

Strong About Uncirculated or better. Here is a exceptionally high quality strike for the early Dahlonega Mint, boasting a wealth of fine detail and substantial mint lustre that adds materially to the overall visual quality. One of 8,382 struck, and certainly among the finest of a date that David Akers assigned the third lowest average grade of the entire series. This Branch Mint piece... more |

- and essentially Choice. Immaculate light gold frost saturates all of this coin's delightfully smooth surfaces. First 'L' in DOLLAR and '54' of date are characteristically less distinct. This coin is a natural for any high quality Type or date collection of Gold Dollars. NGC MS62. |

$25,000.00 |
Solid About Uncirculated with serious claims to still higher grade. One of 1,811 struck, and among the finest existing of the date today, boasting ample lustre and an unusually bold strike, particularly on the reverse. Over a decade of auction appearances charted by Dannreuther-Garrett, there were 54 sightings of this Dahlonega date, most in grades well below this coin's remarkably high... more |

About Uncirculated. Here is a second wholly pleasing example of the rarest Indian Princess date. Such wear as is present is extremely light and free of problems, leaving a wealth of detail, smooth fields and areas or original lustre. This satisfying example is certainly light years above Akers' average grade of VF-34. |

Choice About Uncirculated, on the threshold of full Mint State. An exceptional impression of the dies is seen in the unusually complete denticulation, boldly delineated reliefs and richly lustrous fields. Somewhat sharper than the comparable James A. Stack example, this coin shows light die clash in the reverse field. One of 3,477 struck and a very high grade for a Dahlonega date to... more |

1860'S' Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$650.00 |
Boldly struck with even yellow-gold fields, minute striae near the chin. One of 13,000 struck long before collectors took interest in mintmarks as a collectible aspect of U.S. coinage and began seeking high grade Branch Mint strikes such as this. |

Choice Extremely Fine in terms of wear but the coin has been previously cleaned and has a light greenish-gold tint. The reverse shows a few scratches over somewhat reflective surfaces. The strike is decent with some lustre still remaining. This early Quarter Eagle still has a decent appearance and should be viewed closely. |

Choice About Uncirculated and nearly full Mint State. This satisfying coin shows why the 1843 is often regarded as the best-struck Dahlonega Quarter Eagle. Close examination shows a die crack from rim along the right side of the first 'S' in STATES, another from the base of 'D' in the denomination to the rim.

Choice About Uncirculated. This boldly yellow-gold coin boasts a truly superior strike. Actual signs of circulation are limited to only the most vulnerable high points. This is one of only 10,945 struck of this issue at Dahlonega. A mere 56 in all grades appear in the Dannreuther-Garrett auction listing, with the present coin's grade placing it near the top.

About Uncirculated. A splendid strike results in a wealth of bold detail. Somewhat subdued yellow-gold surfaces reveal a few old toned-over scratches under a glass but the overall quality and appeal can only be called outstanding. This coin is one of 11,264 struck at Dahlonega and an exciting specimen of the date. |

$4,250.00 |
About Uncirculated. Deep yellow-gold surfaces show the most limited wear and a lamination line in left obverse field. Although only 7,913 pieces were struck, this has been a somewhat underrated date. Focus on these early mintmarked issues has been renewed by such events as our sales of the James A. Stack Collection, and this Charlotte date's future is bright. |

Choice About Uncirculated, and showing the bold quality of Mint State. This coin shows the soft strike at the centers that is a hallmark of this date, which saw only 874 struck. The number of survivors is a source of ongoing numismatic debate, but researchers agree that perhaps as few as 20 to 35 exist today in all grades.

About Uncirculated or perhaps even finer in strict terms of wear, making this a coin near the high point in the grading continuum for the date. This specimen boasts exceptional surface quality, free of abrasions or the stains so often seen on other known examples. Careful study reveals subtle evidence of a very gentle cleaning at some point in the coin's past. |

1869'S'

CH AU |

Choice About Uncirculated and just bordering on Mint State. Bright lemon yellow lustre radiates from the surfaces of this pleasing example. Just the lightest touch of rub restricts this coin from grading higher. A magnificent coin with eye appeal that far exceeds that of many Mint State specimens. |
