The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1847-D Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter 9-M, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). This minimally circulated survivor comes down to us from a mintage of 15,784 pieces. It is an orange-gold example with a bold-to-sharp strike and no singularly distracting abrasions apart from a few wispy grazes in the right-reverse field. A satiny, slightly granular texture is clearly seen as the coin rotates under a light, and it includes very modest semi-reflective tendencies in the fields.<br />     One of the more frequently encountered Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagles in numismatic circles, the 1847-D is similar in overall rarity to the 1846-D and 1848-D. It is rarer than the 1848-D in high grades, however, and is also more challenging to collect in AU and Mint State than the 1843-D, 1844-D and 1857-D.
