Lot 1682
Nearly choice Mint State 1848-D. PCGS graded MS-62. Many collectors have endeavored to put together date sets of these rare Dahlonega and Charlotte gold issues only to find that most just aren't available. It can take years and years to find the right coins, if they are available. Here is another scarce issue, with a token mintage of 13,771 and with today's population substantially less. PCGS has only graded 3 this high, with a blistering 4 graded higher. Greenish luster on the obverse, peculiar to this Mint, and well struck. The obverse is full on Liberty's curls, while the reverse has slight weakness on the tops of the eagle's wing and neck feathers only. Few signs of contact with other coins, the fields and devices seem better than the grade would imply. A major rarity in Mint State, this quarter eagle is certain to command much attention when it crosses the block.
