Description

Near-Mint 1849-D Quarter Eagle
Elusive Date, Sharply Struck

1849-D $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 11-M, with the high date. From a small mintage of 10,945 pieces, the 1849-D Liberty Head quarter eagle is an elusive issue from the famous Southern mint. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 115-135 pieces in all grades, with less than three dozen specimens extant in AU. The present coin is sharply struck for this issue, with fine detail present on the hair and star centers. Even the usually weak denticles are well defined. The attractive orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded. Census: 54 in 58, 13 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P2)
