1844-C Quarter Eagle, MS62
Rare in Mint State

1844-C $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 1. The 1844-C is among the scarcer quarter eagle issues from this mint overall, with only 150 to 175 examples believed extant. Of these, the vast majority are moderately worn, with some grading as low as Very Good to Fine; only a handful of Mint State pieces are known, significantly fewer than are apparently reflected in the certified population reports. The finest is a single MS63 coin at PCGS. This MS62 piece shows luminous orange-gold surfaces, with minimal abrasions for the grade. This issue is known for softness of strike on the central devices, and this is seen only to a limited extent on this piece, which shows minor flatness on the eagle's feathers. In the context of the 1844-C, this coin is unusually high-end, representing an important opportunity for the Southern gold specialist. Census: 6 in 62, 0 finer (8/14).(Registry values: P2)
