1849-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Lovely orange and golden toning. A frosty Mint State with strong underlying luster from the dies that reinforce the beauty of the sharp relief on both sides. The only complaint, if one were to make one, is that some of the reverse rim denticles are squashed in the process of striking this coin. However, the key central devices are crisply detailed. Low mintage of 10,945. Although often erroneously lumped with the 1844-1848 Dahlonega issues, the 1849-D is actually a much scarcer coin. In fact, it is surpassed only by the 1840-1842 trio in terms of rarity among Dahlonega quarter eagles from this decade. There are very few Mint States recorded by NGC: Pop 4; 2 in 61; 7 in 62. (PCGS # 7754) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.

 
Realized $10,925
