Description
1849-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 11-N. High Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Very choice for a Choice About Uncirculated 1849-D quarter eagle, beautiful surfaces are bathed in light honey-gold with a tinge of pale apricot. The texture is smooth, soft and satiny with good luster quality and an uncommonly smooth appearance for the assigned grade. With sharp striking detail to all major design elements this exceptional example is sure to sell for a strong bid to a discerning Southern gold enthusiast. The 1849-D is a rare Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle from the 1840s in AU and Mint State grades, following only the 1840-D, 1841-D and 1842-D. The mintage was just 10,945 pieces, and attrition through commercial use was high, as expected for a pre-Civil War era Southern gold issue. Even well worn survivors are scarce, although VF and EF examples comprise much of the 150 to 200-coin extant population and are obtainable with patience. Anything finer, as here, is a significant condition rarity.
PCGS# 7754. NGC ID: 25HF.
PCGS Population: 23; 8 finer (MS-62 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 20 in all AU grades; 1 in all Mint State grades.
From the Srotag Collection.
