1842. PCGS graded AU-55. In 1842, the Mint at Philadelphia coined a very small amount of 2,823 quarter eagles. Since that time, most were either lost over time, heavily circulated, and cleaned or damaged. Surviving examples in any grade are rare with an estimate by PCGS of just 50-60 pieces presently known. This Choice AU presents typical light wear on each side, with a few small marks visible above the eagle. Struck on a soft green-gold planchet with subtle hints of orange in certain recesses. This piece certainly boasts a pleasing level of eye appeal. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 58, 1 in 62. (PCGS # 7723) . Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000. Categories: $2.50 Liberty
