Description

1860-C Two and a Half, MS61
Final Charlotte Quarter Eagle
Rare in Mint State

1860-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. Quarter eagle coinage in Charlotte was sporadic during the 1850s, and the 1860-C was the final issue struck before the outbreak of the Civil War. From a mintage of 7,469 coins, Doug Winter estimates that 155 to 205 are extant and mostly in VF or XF grades. Uncirculated examples are rarely seen. In more than two decades, we have offered a Mint State 1860-C quarter eagle on only 15 different occasions, including reappearances of several coins. This piece is pleasantly well-struck for the issue, showing trivial weakness only on the eagle's talons and left (facing) leg. The surfaces display bright yellow-gold color with light, scattered abrasions that define the grade. An outstanding coin to round out a high-end Charlotte quarter eagle collection. Census: 5 in 61, 4 finer (11/15).(Registry values: P2)
