Description

1855-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 19-N, the only known dies. AU-58 (NGC).
This is a highly significant and attractive example with surfaces that approach Mint State preservation. Just a touch of friction shows on the high points, and there are no sizable or otherwise singularly distracting marks. Handsome deep honey-rose in color with ample remnants of the subdued luster for which this challenging issue is known. A truly exceptional example, this piece shows Condition Census sharpness and ranks among the finest certified. We encourage specialists to take note when it hits the auction block, as it may be a very long time before another near-Mint survivor from these dies is offered.
PCGS# 7776. NGC ID: 25J6.
NGC Census: 7; 4 finer (MS-61 finest). The corresponding PCGS Population is 3/3 (MS-63 finest).
