<Our item number 98776><B>1847-D &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63.</B> A nice bold strike. Vivid greenish yellow gold. Somewhat prooflike in areas. Exceedingly sharply struck. This is what it means to be a stunning specimen of a rare Dahlonega Mint quarter eagle. At this grade level it ranks at the starting end of the coveted Condition Census<BR><BR>From the original mintage of 15,784 pieces, several hundred examples are believed to exist, nearly all of which are circulated. For the 1847-D, the obverse has its date logotype high, with 1 and 7 piercing the neck truncations and both free from the dentils below. Many raised die finish lines are evident on these, though visible only on the higher grade coins retaining their luster. On the reverse, the D is placed high, with the interior half filled with the arrow feathers. Again, some prominent raised finish lines are seen. Because this specimen is so bold, it may be an early strike. <B>Pop 1; 4 finer; 1 in 64; 3 in 65.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7746&#41;</B>. <BR>E stimated Value &#36;18,000-20,000. <I><BR>Ex: Ashland City.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 98776<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/098776.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/098776N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
