1850-D $2.50 MS (PCGS#7757)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1850-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-13. AU-58 (NGC). An attractive piece in all regards, both sides are boldly defined in the context of the issue as well as the assigned grade. Wear is minimal and largely confined to the central highpoints, where softness of strike also tends to be concentrated. With pretty olive-gold color and freedom from detracting abrasions, this is a superior Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle in near-Mint condition that also sports an impressive numismatic provenance. The Dahlonega Mint struck 12,148 quarter eagles in 1850. This is the most frequently encountered D-Mint issue of the denomination from the 1850s, although it is scarcer than coins from the previous decade such as the 1843-D, 1844-D, 1845-D, 1846-D and 1847-D. As with all pre-Civil War era Southern gold issues, the 1850-D is typically offered in circulated grades, in this case usually VF or EF with only occasional AU pieces coming on the market. Mint State survivors are of the utmost rarity with most in tightly held collections. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. Earlier from David W. Akers' sale of the John Jay Pittman Collection, May 1998, lot 1767; our Baltimore Auction of March 2010, lot 3613. PCGS# 7757. NGC ID: 25HJ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
