Losbeschreibung: Exciting 1847-D Quarter Eagle Rarity The Only Certified Mint State Coin Approved by CAC 1847-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-9, the only known dies. MS-62+ (NGC). CAC. As the only Mint State example to have met with strict approval from CAC, the significance of this 1847-D $2.50 can hardly be overstated. It is a highly desirable coin dressed in vivid rose-orange color. Lustrous surfaces are uncommonly smooth for both the issue and the assigned grade, and they also sport impressively sharp striking detail throughout the design. With more than 350 coins extant from a mintage of 15,784 pieces, the 1847-D is a more frequently encountered Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle. It is similar in overall rarity to the 1846-D and, in fact, only the 1843-D is more plentiful in this mintmarked gold series. While collectors should have little difficulty locating VF or EF examples, premium quality AU coins are very scarce, and all Mint State survivors are rare. With the quality and eye appeal offered here the 1847-D is a major condition rarity that would serve as highlight in the finest Southern gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection. NGC Census: 1; 4 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 1 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 7746. NGC ID: 25H7. Click here for certification details from NGC.
