Description

1848-D Quarter Eagle, MS61
Challenging Date in Mint State

1848-D $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 10-M. From a small mintage of 13,771 pieces, the 1848-D quarter eagle is still one of the more available issues from the Dahlonega Mint. Doug Winter believes the surviving population may total 175-200 examples, but only 9-11 specimens are in Mint State grades. Population data may be inflated by resubmissions. The present coin is sharply struck and lustrous, with bright semiprooflike fields. A scattering of insignificant handling marks on the reverse is consistent with the grade. Census: 8 in 61, 12 finer (2/10).
