Description

1840-C Quarter Eagle, AU50
Sharp First Year of Issue Example

1840-C $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. Winter-1. Always popular as the first Liberty Head quarter eagle from the Charlotte Mint, the 1840-C issue is perhaps more available than its 12,822-piece production indicates. A single die pair produced the entire mintage. This About Uncirculated example is a well-struck coin on a decent planchet -- not always the case for this inaugural issue. Plentiful mint luster remains on this rich, yellow-gold example that displays greenish-gold accents. Scattered tiny marks are grade-consistent and visible under a loupe.(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25GB, PCGS# 7718, Greysheet# 8333)
