Description du lot

1844-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter 5-H. MS-61 (NGC). Bright yellow-gold surfaces with a shimmering, satiny texture that is uncommonly vibrant for a product of the Dahlonega Mint. A sharp-to-full strike is also a praiseworthy attribute, as are a lack of both wear and worrisome abrasions. The 1844-D has an original mintage of 17,332, which is respectable enough by Dahlonega Mint standards to rank the issue among the most plentiful of its type. Mint State survivors are still rare in an absolute sense, of course, and the issue is more elusive in such grades than the 1843-D and 1857-D.
