Notes:
The finest Uncirculated examples graded by PCGS are 2 AU-55's.
Significant examples:
"Proof" (illustrated
above). Ex - Pittman collection (according to Saul Teichman, none of
Pittman's Proof 1844 gold coins originated with Parmelee, who did not have
a Proof Quarter Eagle and whose 1844 Half Eagle and Eagle were listed as
1844's but were actually 1844-O's!)
