Low Mintage 1840-C Quarter Eagle, AU58

1840-C $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1. This is the initial Charlotte Mint Liberty quarter eagle issue. Most of its small mintage of 12,822 pieces apparently failed to survive.

This near-Mint State example displays luster in the recessed areas of its yellow-gold surfaces blushed with hints of apricot. Well struck except for the usual softness in some of the star centers and revealing just a few minute contact marks. Population: 6 in 58, 8 finer (11/09)..(Registry values: P2)
