- Noteworthy Mint State 1844-D Quarter Eagle
1844-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 5-I. MS-61 (PCGS).
This well produced and uncommonly well preserved example is sure to catch the eye of advanced Southern gold collectors. Both sides are boldly struck in all but a few isolated areas, generally at and near the central high points, and typical of the issue. Bright golden-yellow color blends nicely with lively mint luster. With smoother surfaces than one might expect at the assigned grade level, this coin is almost certain to sell for a strong bid.
The 1844-D (17,332 pieces produced) is one of the more obtainable Dahlonega Mint quarter eagles in today's market, with circulated coins in VF and EF representing popular choices for many mintmarked gold type collectors. As with all D-Mint Liberty Head quarter eagles, however, the 1844-D is highly elusive in Mint State. Doug Winter (2013) accounts for only five or six Uncirculated survivors, confirming the fleeting nature of this offering in today's highly competitive numismatic market.
Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier from our sale of the Augustana Collection, Winter 2022 Auction, November, lot 5071.
PCGS Population: 7; 13 finer (MS-63 finest).
