Popular MS62 1847-D Quarter Eagle

1847-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Variety 9-M. Sole variety for this popular Dahlonega quarter eagle issue, a frequent selection of Southern gold type collectors for its relatively generous survival rate in better grades. The 2003 edition of Doug Winter's Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, for example, ends its condition census with MS62 pieces.
Whether this coin is one listed by Winter or a later discovery or upgrade is not known. What is plain, however, is that the strike is uncommonly bold. Lightly abraded fields display lemon-gold radiance. Grade-defining marks include shallow scrapes at the obverse margins and under Liberty's chin. Population: 11 in 62, 1 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25H7, PCGS# 7746, Greysheet# 8356)

Weight: 4.18 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
