Liberty Quarter Eagles
1851-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. The 1851-C quarter eagle is a scarce issue in all grades, with likely only 160 to 210 examples known. This Mint State coin is a major condition rarity. The eagle shows slight weakness, mostly on its left (facing) leg, but the obverse is well-defined. Each side shows bright yellow-gold luster with the appropriate abrasions for the grade. Census: 8 in 61 (1 in 61+), 5 finer (1/17).
