Description
1838-C Quarter Eagle, MS63
Important First-Year issue
Only One Example Finer
1838-C $2 1/2 HM-1, R.4, MS63 NGC. First-year status ensures
the appeal and perennial popularity of the important 1838-C quarter
eagle. With a mintage of 7,880 pieces, Daryl Haynor writes in his
2020 reference, Classic Gold Coins, 1834-1839: "The 1838-C
is the rarest Classic Gold quarter eagle with a mintmark, and tied
with the underrated 1839. No gems are known to exist, the finest
being a coin currently graded PCGS MS64."This Select Uncirculated 1838-C quarter eagle is tied for second on the Condition Census after that near-Gem. Every element of the design is razor-sharp, particularly the curls, stars, and feathers. Deep orange-gold color and partial satin mint luster grace minimally abraded surfaces that show little more than scattered hairlines. Census: 3 in 63, 0 finer (5/21).
From The Utah Collection of Charlotte Gold Coinage.
