Liberty Quarter Eagles
1847-D $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Variety 9-N. The sole die pair. The 1847-D is a popular choice for type purposes given its availability relative to other Dahlonega quarter eagles. Doug Winter suggests a total survival rate of 300 to 350 coins, a figure backed up by the certification totals at PCGS and NGC. About 20 or 25 pieces are in Uncirculated condition. This lovely Georgia quarter eagle offers rose and sun-gold hues that blend seamlessly with shimmering luster. The relief elements rival the sharpness of a Philadelphia Mint product with full stars and pinpoint detail on the eagle. Population: 13 in 62, 2 finer (10/16).
