Description

Appealing 1850-D Quarter Eagle, AU53

1850-D $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. Variety 13-M. Rare in Mint State and usually seen in XF to AU grades. The 1850-D, while it is the most available D-mint quarter eagle from the 1850s, is still scarcer than the 1845-D through 1847-D issues, according to Winter. This example is boldly detailed, with moderate wear noted on the design's highpoints. Several shallow marks are located on the lower obverse: just to the left of Liberty's chin and between stars 12 and 13.
