Description
1838-C Quarter Eagle, HM-1, AU58
The Only Known Die Marriage
Inaugural Charlotte Issue
1838-C $2 1/2 HM-1, R.4, AU58 PCGS. CAC. Just a single die
pair is known for the 1838-C, the introductory year Charlotte issue
with a mintage of only 7,880 pieces. The mintmark is on the obverse
and shows wide repunching south. The reverse legend has the E in
UNITED slightly high, with A and M in AMERICA widely separated. The
present example is an attractive, deep green-gold color decorating
a full strike and refreshingly unabraded fields. A loupe reveals
only a couple of light vertical marks on the cheek. Traces of grime
near the stars accompany recutting on several star points, while
luster brightens the margins and devices. CAC endorsement adds
value to this popular inaugural Charlotte issue, which is seldom
available in full Mint State. Population: 19 in 58 (4 in 58+), 6
finer. CAC: 7 in 58, 3 finer (3/23).Ex: Philadelphia Signature (Heritage, 8/2012), lot 5289.
