Description

Near-Gem 1847-C Quarter Eagle
A C-Mint Type Candidate for a High Quality Type Set

1847-C $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Variety 1. For the collector who desires to own a single high-quality example of Charlotte Mint quarter eagle coinage, this date is an excellent choice. The mintage of 23,226 ranks as the second highest of any annual quarter eagle production at the North Carolina facility, and the number of Mint State survivors also ranks at the top of the list. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth comment: "When assembling a type set of Southern branch-mint gold coins, the 1847-C Liberty Head quarter eagle will probably represent the Charlotte quarter eagle." This greenish-gold example is a remarkable Choice Mint State coin with satiny luster, reflective fields, and sharp design definition. The surfaces are outstanding, with only a few insignificant blemishes to prevent a higher grade. Census: 4 in 64, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: P2)
