Liberty Quarter Eagles
1844-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The 1844-C is mainly found in lower grades because it saw heavy circulation. By 1844, public confidence in Bechtler gold coins decreased, and a July 28, 1844 fire in the Charlotte Mint halted production until 1846. Pressure was placed on the already small mintage of 11,622 pieces, and few high-grade coins survived. The present example displays bright brass-gold surfaces that retain considerable luster. The design elements are well brought up, and small marks are confined to the left obverse field. The reverse is rotated slightly counterclockwise. Census: 15 in 58, 13 finer (6/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2006), lot 2612; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 3838; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 3259; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 5191.
