Description

1841-C Quarter Eagle, Strong MS62
Tied for Finest at Both Services

1841-C $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 1. With a mintage of 10,281 quarter eagles, the 1841-C ranks 9th out of 20 C-mint two and a half dollar issues. However, Doug Winter notes it is actually the second rarest in high grades, adding: "Its rarity is compounded by the fact that it is a poorly produced issue." Only 125 to 175 pieces are thought to exist, including four or five in Mint State. The finest among them is the Byron Reed coin, believed to be MS63 or better, but it is permanently housed in the Omaha City Library. The finest certified examples include four MS62 submissions at NGC and one at PCGS. None are finer (7/22). This top-graded two and half is remarkably fully struck with partial luster that glows from light yellow-gold surfaces.(Registry values: P2)
