Liberty Quarter Eagles
1848-D $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 10-O. This is the scarcer of only two die pairings used to strike the 13,771 1848-D quarter eagles. From that low mintage only 275-325 pieces are believed known in all grades. Almost half of the estimated survivors are AU, making this one of the more obtainable Dahlonega issues. Light rub is evident over each side and the yellow-gold surfaces show just the slightest tinge of reddish patina.
