1845-D $2.50 MS (PCGS#7738)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1845-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-6, the only known dies. AU-50 (NGC). Lovely golden-honey surfaces exhibit tinges of pale orange-apricot. Pleasingly bold overall, a touch of softness to the central high points is characteristic of both the issue and the assigned grade, and is hardly worth mentioning. Appreciable luster remains, both sides uncommonly free of sizable or otherwise singularly mentionable marks for a pre-Civil War era Southern gold coin at the assigned grade level. An enticing offering for the advanced specialist that is sure to see spirited bidding. With a similar mintage (19,460 vs. 17,332 coins), the 1845-D is nearly on par with the 1844-D in terms of overall rarity. Doug Winter (2013) provides an estimate of 200 to 250 coins extant in all grades for this issue. Not surprisingly for a Dahlonega Mint gold coin, the typical 1845-D quarter eagle is a well circulated VF or EF. About Uncirculated survivors are scarce, and in high grades the 1845-D is rarer than 1844-D, as well as a number of other Dahlonega Mint quarter eagles. Mint State examples can be counted on one or two hands. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. PCGS# 7738. NGC ID: 25GX. Click here for certification details from NGC.
