1850-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 13-M, the only known dies. EF-40 (PCGS).Light honey-gold patina with warmer overtones of rose-russet around the peripheries and outlining the central devices. This is not a well struck issue, although light wear to the present example has left plenty of bold detail, especially on the obverse. While the 1850-D is the most frequently encountered Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle from the 1850s, it is scarcer than the more common issues from the 1840s such as the 1845-D, 1846-D and 1847-D. This is a pleasing EF survivor from a mintage of 12,148 coins that would do nicely in a circulated Southern gold set.From the Maurice Snow Collection.
