Liberty Quarter Eagles
1843-C $2 1/2 Small Date, Crosslet 4 MS60 NGC. Variety 1. The Small Date 1843-C is the key to the series of Charlotte quarter eagles. Only one die was used to strike the mintage of only 2,988 pieces. With so few minted, and subsequently so few that survive, it is no wonder the Small Date is a condition rarity. Doug Winter estimates in his 2008 reference on the series that only 8-10 Uncirculated coins are known. In that same book, the Condition Census of the top seven coins is listed as 62-62-61-61-61-61-58. If that same CC holds true today, this piece would be at the bottom of the Census. The surfaces are bright with strong semiprooflike fields. No obvious or detracting abrasions are present and only the slightest striking softness is evident. Census: 2 in 60, 4 finer (6/17).
