1846-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (NGC).Dominant bright medium gold patina with glints of faint pinkish-rose iridescence outlining many of the peripheral devices. The overall detail is quite bold for a product of the Dahlonega Mint, especially one that has seen limited commercial use. Although the 1846-D is a scarce issue in an absolute sense with just 19,303 pieces produced, it numbers among the more frequently encountered quarter eagles from the challenging Georgia branch mint. This is an uncommonly high grade survivor that will delight mintmarked type collectors and Southern gold enthusiasts alike.From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio.
