1848-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Mostly lustrous with just a touch of wear on the highpoints and with attractive surfaces for this often abused date. Mintage came in at 13,771 pieces, most of which circulated well beyond what is seen here. In fact, most were melted during the ensuing conflicts between the states. The strike is sharp on Libertys curls (save for the one above her ear) and the eagle. Struck in the usual olive-gold with tinges of red as the coin turns under a light source. An exceptionally well preserved piece awarded a CAC sticker..
