Liberty Quarter Eagles
1848-C $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. Suitably struck despite its Charlotte Mint origin, with softer definition mostly relegated to the lower half of the eagle. This light golden-brown representative has a few faint hairlines on the upper left obverse field, and thin marks are noted near the cheekbone, the U in UNITED, and above STATES. Only 16,788 pieces were struck, and the issue is scarce in high grade today. Census: 26 in 55, 44 finer (6/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2006), lot 3028.
