Liberty Quarter Eagles
1856-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. This is one of the rarer Charlotte quarter eagles, from a mintage of only 7,913 coins. Doug Winter suggests that only 95 to 125 pieces are known in all grades, few of which survive above XF. Mint State examples are rare. This is a pleasing yellow-gold near-Mint example with some surface abrasions and roughness, mostly a result of poor minting procedures or defective planchets. A shallow depression in the surface extends from Liberty's chin to the second star. Census: 20 in 58, 16 finer (11/16).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2005), lot 8461; New York Signature (Heritage, 6/2005), lot 6322.
