Lot 1258
1848-D. PCGS graded MS-62. Lovely rich golden toning. Only 13,771 struck. Sharply struck, with choice surfaces and medium to deep yellow and orange-gold color on the obverse and the reverse. This is another issue that tends to come with reasonably good eye appeal and sharp details, making it an excellent candidate for a Dahlonega Mint Type set.
In 1848, the Dahlonega Mint produced the aforementioned 13,771 quarter eagles. There are perhaps 200 in numismatic holdings today, with the majority of these grading Very Fine to Extremely Fine grade range. Mint States are rare, although they are more available than most Dahlonega quarter eagles of this era. There are as many as two dozen certified in Uncirculated, with the preponderance of these in the MS60 to MS61 range. Condition Census: Pop 7; 6 finer in 63. (PCGS # 7751) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
