Liberty Quarter Eagles
1843-C $2 1/2 Large Date, Plain 4, AU53 NGC. Variety 1. The Large Date, Plain 4 1843-C quarter eagles derive from a mintage of 23,076 coins and are more accessible than their Small Date, Crosslet 4 counterparts. However, they are scarce in the absolute sense with only 250 to 300 examples known, according to Doug Winter's estimate. Strike softness in the centers is predictable, but the stars display nearly full radial lines and the rims are crisp. Pale yellow-gold surfaces are moderately abraded.
