Classic Quarter Eagles
1838-C $2 1/2 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. Variety 20. First year of issue from the Charlotte Mint and one of only 7,880 coins produced. Doug Winter estimates 150-200 examples have survived in all grades. This is a pale yellow-gold piece that is softly struck over the high points of the devices. Numerous small but individually insignificant abrasions are peppered across the surfaces, as one would expect from this issue.
