1848-D $2.50 MS (PCGS#7751)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1848-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 10-N. MS-61 (NGC). This well struck and aesthetically pleasing 1848-D quarter eagle is aglow with bright golden-wheat color. The luster is full with a lovely satin to semi-reflective finish, the latter confined to the fields. The razor sharp strike is exceptional by Dahlonega Mint standards. This MS-61 specimen is among the very finest examples of the date extant and nearly qualifies as Condition Census. The bidding on this lot will be fast and furious, so don't be left out! As with virtually every other issue from the Dahlonega Mint, the 1848-D quarter eagle is a rarity in Mint State. The mintage of 13,771 pieces as with other coins struck at Dahlonega circulated heavily in local commerce. As a result, a VF or EF example of the date is what is typically found in the numismatic marketplace, while an AU coin is considered quite a prize. In Mint State the word "rare" comes into play, as above, even for a lower-end piece. Such specimens simply exist in quantities too small to meet demand from advanced collectors in the popular discipline of pre-Civil War era Southern gold coinage. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. NGC Census: 6; 10 finer (MS-63 finest). PCGS# 7751. NGC ID: 25HC. Click here for certification details from NGC.
