1854-C Liberty Quarter Eagle, MS62
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1854-C $2 1/2 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. Quarter eagle production was low throughout the 1850s at the Charlotte Mint and none were struck there in 1853. The following year saw a modest production of 7,295 pieces, making the 1853-C an elusive issue in all grades. Few examples were saved by contemporary collectors and most examples seen are in the VF-XF grade range. Mint State examples are rare. Currently, PCGS has certified five coins in MS62, with none finer, while NGC has graded seven examples in MS62, one of them in MS62+, with one finer (5/21).

This impressive MS62 example displays a typical strike for the issue, with a touch of softness on the central reverse. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lustrous and lightly marked. The outstanding quality and eye appeal are attested by the CAC sticker. Population: 5 in 62, 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 62, 0 finer (5/21).
