The 1849-D $2.50 Quarter Eagle, struck at the Dahlonega Mint, is a scarce Liberty Head gold coin with a mintage of only 10,945 pieces, making it rarer than other Dahlonega issues from the late 1840s, except for those minted between 1840 and 1842. Graded NGC XF40, this example is Doug Winter’s variety 11-M, identified by a high date placement and considered the more common of the two known varieties for this year. Full Mint State examples are exceedingly rare, enhancing the appeal of this circulated yet well-preserved coin for collectors of branch mint gold.
This 1849-D quarter eagle displays a uniform bronze-gold color across its surfaces, with consistent detail in the central features aligning with its Extremely FIne grade, despite the typical reverse weakness often seen in this issue. A notable feature is the reverse rim, which shows early signs of a shattered die, adding character to the coin. Struck from 90% gold and 10% copper (4.18 grams, 18 mm diameter), this coin carries the historical significance of the Dahlonega Mint (1838–1861) and the Georgia Gold Rush, making it a desirable addition to specialized collections.
