Description
1838-C HM-1 Quarter Eagle, AU58+
First Charlotte Mint Coinage
1838-C $2 1/2 HM-1, R.4, AU58+ PCGS. CAC. On March 3, 1835,
Congress approved "An act to establish branches of the mint of the
United States." Those branches were to be located in New Orleans,
Louisiana for the coinage of gold and silver coins, Charlotte,
North Carolina for the coinage of gold only, and Dahlonega,
Georgia, also for the coinage of gold only. While New Orleans was
considered a large city at the time, having a population of about
100,000 in 1840, Charlotte and Dahlonega were small towns having
populations numbering less than 1,000 residents at the time.
However, both locations were convenient to gold mining operations.
The first production of each branch was in 1838. Virtually Mint
State, this impressive piece has a trace of rub on the high points
with minuscule handling marks. Both sides display lustrous
green-gold surfaces with lovely peripheral rose toning. Population:
16 in 58 (2 in 58+), 5 finer. CAC: 7 in 58, 3 finer (7/23).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# E2MP, Variety PCGS# 764792, Base PCGS# 7697, Greysheet# 226382)
Weight: 4.18 grams
Metal: 89.92% Gold, 10.08% Copper
