Description
1846-D/D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 7-L. VF-35 (PCGS). OGH.
This handsome Choice VF example shows a full lower left serif of the first D to the left of the primary mintmark, roughly centered above the digit 1 in the denomination. Richly original reddish-honey surfaces are warmly and evenly colored with an impressively smooth appearance overall. Well defined for the grade, most features are boldly to sharply rendered. The 1846-D has a mintage of 19,303 pieces, generous by Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle standards. Indeed, the 1846-D is one of the more available Southern gold coins in today's market, a distinction it shares with the 1843-D and 1847-D. With no more than 350 coins extant, however, it is scarce in an absolute sense. The four die marriages known for this issue feature two obverses and four reverses and include a dramatic D/D attribution for the early state of Winter 7-L, offered here. Interestingly, late die state Winter 7-L coins account for the majority of 1846-D quarter eagles; the other three varieties of this issue are scarce to rare.
PCGS# 7742. NGC ID: 25H3.
From the Srotag Collection.
