Lot 952
1849-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Boldly struck with lovely golden toning. Very well struck on obverse and reverse, remarkable as such. An attractive piece which at this level is an significant rarity. Winter, in his guide book Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint 1838-1861, may need to update his reference since he states that just a single Mint State piece is known to him, a curious lapse when considering the present population graded by the top services. In any event, the specialist in quarter eagles, particularly the specialist in examples from the Dahlonega Mint, may not want to wait a minute longer to find bid on the present piece. Only 10,945 minted. Pop 4; 3 in 61; 7 in 62. (PCGS # 7754) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
