1846-D $2.50 MS (PCGS#7742)

August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: 1846-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 7-K. Late Die State. AU-50 (PCGS). Pleasing medium gold surfaces with overall bold detail and appreciable luster for the assigned grade. With a respectable mintage for the series of 19,303 pieces, the 1846-D is among the more obtainable quarter eagles from the Dahlonega Mint. As with all quarter eagles from this challenging Southern coinage facility, however, the 1846-D is scarce to rare in grades above EF-45. This is a conditionally scarce AU that is sure to catch the eye of advanced gold enthusiasts. This coin is a late die state of the Winter 7-K 1846-D/D variety. The first D is no longer readily discernible, although the placement of the primary mintmark confirms the Winter 7-K 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. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, date not recorded. Earlier from Kreisberg & Cohen's Windsor Collection sale, November 1981, lot 275. PCGS# 7742. NGC ID: 25H3.
