Description

1854-C Quarter Eagle, MS61
Possible Lower Condition Census Example

1854-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. A single variety is known of this low-mintage Charlotte quarter eagle. A mere 7,295 pieces were struck, and today it is estimated that 105-145 individual coins may exist in all grades. The 1854-C is especially challenging in mint condition. Doug Winter estimates only 6-7 pieces are known. This coin appears to be tied with another MS61 at the lower end of the Condition Census as listed in his 2008 reference. This bright orange-gold example shows the expected softness of detail on each side, but it lacks the extensive abrasions usually encountered. A small planchet flake is noted above star 1 and another, larger one is seen to the right of the eagle's neck.(Registry values: P2)
