Liberty Quarter Eagles
1860-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. Ex: Pittman. The 1860-C quarter eagle is a rarity in Mint State. The grading services report 15 examples in various Uncirculated grades, but resubmissions are likely reflected in the figure. Doug Winter, in his 2008 reference, Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint, listed seven known Mint State coins (duplication in that list accounted for). The present piece is new to his roster. The coin is well-struck, although portions of the reverse fields show mint-made planchet voids and the eagle's left (facing) leg is slightly soft. Original orange-gold coloration paints satiny surfaces that show modest underlying abrasions. Eye appeal is pleasing for the issue, which is famous for displaying the opposite. Census: 5 in 61, 4 finer (10/16).
