Description
The 1841 (D) Liberty Head Quarter Eagle is a Gold Quarter Eagle produced at the Dahlonega Mint as part of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagles 1840-1907 series. With a mintage of 4,164, this is an extremely rare issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. Charlotte and Dahlonega continued quarter eagle production alongside Philadelphia. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $5.9K to $80K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 4.18 grams, 18 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7722.
