Description

1845-D Quarter Eagle, AU50
Pleasing Collector-Grade Example

1845-D $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. Winter 6-J. The 1845-D is scarce in high grade despite a substantial mintage for the Dahlonega Mint of 19,460 pieces. Doug Winter estimates the survivorship at 275 to 325 pieces in all grades, with barely more than 100 pieces in correctly graded AU and Mint State levels. The current AU coin displays mellow peach-gold patina with subtle luster in the fields. Light wear on each side is noted, but most of the weakness on the hair curls around Liberty's brow and on the eagle's neck is due to an incomplete strike -- typical for the issue.(Registry values: P2)
