1849-D Quarter Eagle, MS61
Rare in This Grade, Seldom Seen Finer

1849-D $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. Variety 11-M. High Date, the commoner of the two varieties. Only 10,945 examples were struck of the 1849-D, a middling rarity within the Dahlonega quarter eagles overall, but one that is quite rare in high grade. PCGS has seen three submissions in this grade with three finer, although we suspect there are duplications in those figures and in those of NGC, which has seen a total of seven Mint State submissions, the finest four in MS62 (6/17). This MS61 PCGS example shows surfaces that are yellow-gold with the usual brightness in the fields. The strike is better than usual, despite the slight high-point softness on each side. Scattered abrasions are light overall, save for one mentionable mark in the middle-left obverse field. An important opportunity for Dahlonega gold specialists.(Registry values: P2)
