详细说明: 1846-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter 7-K. AU-55 (PCGS). A later die state of the popular D Near D Reverse variety, this 1846-D retains only a faint trace of the first D mintmark in the reverse field above the digit 1 in the denomination. Dominant medium-orange color throughout, the obverse also revealing a blush of pale-rose tinting over and around the portrait at certain angles. Plenty of satiny, slightly granular luster remains, a short stint in circulation also leaving ample sharpness of strike. There are no sizeable abrasions to report, and the overall eye appeal is quite strong even despite the presence of a slightly glossy texture to the surfaces. The 1845-D (19,303 pieces produced) is one of the more readily obtainable Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagles in all grades, but in AU and Mint State it is still rarer than the 1843-D, 1844-D, 1847-D, 1848-D and 1857-D.
