Description
The 1845 (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 19,460, this is a scarce issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 17% of production. 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. Dahlonega struck a small number of quarter eagles; the 1845-D is a notable key date. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $3.4K to $50K 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 #7738.
