1843-D Small D Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle ($2.50)

This example of a nearly-uncirculated Dahlonega gold is a real standout. It features minimal wear - just a touch on the high points - while retaining substantial luster throughout. The fields are remarkably clean, with very few contact marks, enhancing its overall eye appeal. The coin shows none of the heavy processing or cleaning that many Dahlonega issues found these days have. A fantastic coin for any serious collection focusing on U.S. gold or Southern branch mints.
