Description

Near-Mint State 1850 Dahlonega Quarter Eagle

1850-D $2 1/2 AU 58 NGC. A bright, lustrous example with only a trace of wear on the highest points. This is one of the rarest Dahlonega quarter eagles in high grades, and Douglas Winter claimed in 1997 that only one Mint State coin was then known to exist. A few have since been certified, but it remains an elusive issue to locate in Choice AU grades. Moderately abraded throughout, this piece is well struck for the issue.
