- Rarely Offered Mint State 1846-D Quarter Eagle
1846-D Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter 7-L. Late Die State. MS-61 (PCGS).
Warm orange-olive color blankets both sides in an even manner, the surfaces of which are lustrous with a bright, frosty texture. Uncommonly well struck with bold to sharp detail throughout, and also uncommonly well preserved for an issue that is almost always offered with at least some degree of wear.
The 1846-D (19,303 pieces produced) may be among the more plentiful D-Mint Liberty Head quarter eagles, but Mint State survivors are rarer than those of the 1843-D, 1844-D, 1847-D, 1848-D and 1857-D. Such pieces, of course, are also rare in an absolute sense, Doug Winter's 2013 estimate just five to seven coins at this level. A highly significant offering for the advanced Southern gold collector.
This coin is a late die state of the Winter 7-L 1846-D/D variety. The first D is no longer readily discernible, although the placement of the primary mintmark confirms the Winter 7-L attribution.
Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
PCGS Population: 3; 15 finer (MS-64 finest).
PCGS# 7742. NGC ID: 25H3.
