1850-D $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle MS-61 PCGS
1850-D $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle MS-61 PCGS
In 1850, the southern branch mint in Dahlonega, Georgia, produced a remarkably small run of gold quarter eagles. Only 12,148 of these 2.50 dollar coins were struck, bearing the distinctive 'D' mintmark. Finding one of these southern gold pieces preserved in uncirculated condition is an exceptional occurrence for coin enthusiasts today. This specific coin is certified in Mint State 61 (MS-61), highlighting its survival through more than a century and a half. Struck from 90 percent pure gold with a metal content of 0.1209 troy ounces, the coin features the classic Liberty Gold design. The obverse displays the year 1850 beneath the profile of Liberty, while the reverse bears the Dahlonega mintmark, marking its origin in the historic Georgia gold rush region.
