Liberty Quarter Eagles
1856-C $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1. The only known dies. The rough low areas on both sides are characteristic of 1856-C quarter eagles and not limited to this coin. For that reason, they have no affect on the assigned grade. This is only the second time that we have offered a MS62 PCGS example of this issue since 1993, and the two coins are the finest PCGS pieces that have appeared in our sales. The present example displays brilliant and lustrous light yellow surfaces with better than usual eye appeal. The strike is lacking definition as always, although this example has better detail than most others we have encountered. An important opportunity for the Charlotte gold enthusiast. Population: 3 in 62, 0 finer (11/16).
