1849-C Liberty Quarter Eagle, MS60
Only One Finer Coin at PCGS

1849-C $2 1/2 MS60 PCGS. Variety 1. Perhaps because of the relative availability of the '49-C half eagle, the low mintage (10,220 pieces) Charlotte quarter eagle from this year has only in the past decade or so been fully appreciated as one of the more difficult C-mints of the type. The outstanding example offered here is one of only approximately one dozen Mint State pieces in private hands. The surfaces are typically well-struck and surprisingly lustrous beneath a veil of reddish patina, with only the obligatory bluntness on the eagle's left leg. Certification data backs up the rarity of the '49-C at the Uncirculated level, as only 12 coins have an MS60 or higher rating from both major services. Population: 1 in 60, 1 finer (5/21).
