Description

1840-C Quarter Eagle, AU53
First Year of the Redesigned Obverse

1840-C $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. Variety 1. The redesigned Liberty Head quarter eagles replaced the short-lived Classic Head coins in 1840, making them first-year type coins. The Charlotte production was only 12,882 pieces. This piece shows some of the typical planchet roughness of the issue. A small scrape appears above Liberty's eye, along with a few moderate obverse marks elsewhere. The reverse of this orange-gold piece is free of major marks, although some strike weakness is noted on the peripheral letter tops. Census: 18 in 53, 68 finer (9/09).(Registry values: P2)
