Description
1842-C Quarter Eagle, AU53
Challenging Charlotte Issue
1842-C $2 1/2 AU53 NGC. Winter-1. The Charlotte Mint
utilized just one die pair for the 6,729 quarter eagles struck in
1842. The majority of graded examples are XF45 and below, and
Uncirculated pieces are conditional rarities as NGC and PCGS,
combined, report only seven Mint State examples (10/25). This
pleasing AU53 quarter eagle displays satiny green-gold patina
highlighted with delicate peach hues around some of the device
borders and recesses. Faint wear is observed on the device high
points, and aside from a mark to the right of Liberty's neck,
abrasions are light and consistent with AU-level pieces. The
overall strike is above average for the issue, with all of the
letters in LIBERTY clearly raised and legible. Typical softness is
noted on Liberty's forehead curls and the eagle's lower
legs.(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25GH, PCGS# 7724, Greysheet# 8338)
