Description
1844-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 5-I. EF-45+ (NGC). CAC.
Light russet and olive-gray highlights enliven otherwise deep honey surfaces on both sides of this richly original example. Softness of strike in the centers is characteristic of most 1844-D quarter eagles, although this feature is less significant at the Choice EF level than it would be for, say, a Choice AU coin. The detail is appreciably bolder toward the borders, and with subtle traces of frosty luster on impressively smooth surfaces, this is an exceptionally attractive coin for the grade that is worthy of strong bids. The Winter 5-I attribution is seen far more often than 5-J, and it shares its reverse with the rare 1843-D Winter 4-I Large D variety. Feathers from the lowest arrow fill the upper third of the opening in the D mintmark.
PCGS# 7736. NGC ID: 25GV.
CAC Population: 40 in all grades.
