Description
1850-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 13-N. AU-55 (NGC).
An attractive piece, both sides are boldly defined in the context of the issue as well as the assigned grade. Wear is minimal and largely confined to the central highpoints, where softness of strike also tends to be concentrated. With vivid golden-honey color and freedom from sizeable marks, this is a desirable Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle in Choice AU preservation. The Dahlonega Mint struck 12,148 quarter eagles in 1850. This is the most frequently encountered D-Mint issue of the denomination from the 1850s, although it is scarcer than coins from the previous decade such as the 1843-D, 1844-D, 1845-D, 1846-D and 1847-D. As with all pre-Civil War era Southern gold issues, the 1850-D is typically offered in circulated grades, in this case usually VF or EF with only occasional AU pieces coming on the market. Mint State survivors are of the utmost rarity with most in tightly held collections.
PCGS# 7757. NGC ID: 25HJ.
