Description
1844-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 5-J. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Lustrous and attractive, with most design features showing sharp or full definition. Essentially brilliant surfaces with handsome olive-orange color. With a mintage of 17,332 pieces, the 1844 quarter eagles from Dahlonega are among the more available issues from the desirable Georgia mint. Survivors are most often in circulated grades, as is typical for pre-Civil War era Southern gold, and they become quite difficult to locate in grades finer than EF. The striking irregularities of coins struck at Dahlonega are part of the charm and the challenge of collecting. The centers are usually found weak, especially on the higher details of Liberty's hair. Doug Winter (2023) estimates that only 25% bear sharp strikes which, when combined with the scarcity of About Uncirculated survivors, explains the considerable challenge of finding a well defined 1844-D such as that offered here.
PCGS# 7736. NGC ID: 25GV.
CAC Stickered Population: 21 in all AU grades.
From the Srotag Collection.
