Description

Elusive About Uncirculated 1847-D Quarter Eagle

1847-D $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. Variety 9-M. Although 1847 was a high mintage year for gold production, perhaps due to the need to pay troops that served in the war with Mexico, mintages of Dahlonega Quarter Eagles continued to be very low. Only 15,784 pieces were struck, the smallest production at the Georgian mint since 1842. This reasonably struck and bright chestnut-gold example has a clean portrait and no distracting abrasions. The 47 in the date is lightly recut at the bases.
