THE ONLY UNCIRCULATED 1849-D QUARTER EAGLE WITH CAC APPROVAL
Variety 11-N, high date. North Georgia collection pedigree, designated by PCGS.
The 1849-D quarter eagle is not often seen above AU53 to AU55. There are at most five or six known in Uncirculated with the finest of the grading MS62.
This is a famous coin, with a pedigree stretching back to at least the 1980's when it was acquired by the owner of the famous North Georgia collection. It is housed in an older pre-barcode holder and it seems undergraded by a full point by today's standards. It is a truly "new" coin with full luster and pleasing green-gold and russet toning over frosty, unabraded surfaces.
This is the only PCGS MS60 1849-D quarter eagle to sell at auction; see below for pedigree information. A vastly inferior NGC MS61 recently sold for $16,450 as Lot 4089 in the Heritage 2017 ANA auction.
Here is the chance to own a famous example of a conditionally rare Dahlonega quarter eagle.
CAC has approved this one coin in MS60 with none finer.
