Description
1846-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 7-L. Late Die State. AU-50 (PCGS).
An especially appealing example of the issue, this is a solidly graded About Uncirculated coin with plenty of bright, frosty luster remaining on vivid golden-olive and honey-apricot surfaces. Well defined overall, most features are sharp, and a touch of softness in the centers is hardly of concern for a lightly circulated Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle. Sure to please collectors of high grade pre-Civil War era Southern gold. This coin is a late die state of the Winter 7-L 1846-D/D variety. The first D is no longer readily discernible, although the placement of the primary mintmark confirms the Winter 7-L attribution. As well, closer inspection with a loupe reveals the barest trace of the lower left corner of the first D above the digit 1 in the denomination.
PCGS# 7742. NGC ID: 25H3.
