Winter Plate 1847-C Quarter Eagle

1847-C $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. This date is considered the single most common Charlotte Mint quarter eagle. The mintage was 23,226 coins, the second largest annual production of quarter eagles during any year at the Charlotte Mint. The 1843-C issue had a larger total mintage of 26,064 coins, but that production was divided into two separate varieties. With just 16 to 18 Mint State examples known, according to Doug Winter's Census, this is a rare issue in the higher grades, but it is still the most available of any issue. This is important news for the type collector who is not so concerned about dates but desires to assemble a type set of Charlotte Mint gold coins. Such a set consists of seven coins, and would serve as an impressive representation of the Charlotte facility This Select Mint State quarter eagle is excellently detailed with light yellow-gold surfaces and a hint of green coloration. The surfaces are reflective with satiny luster. A few minor abrasions keep this from a higher grade. The only significant fault is a small obverse rim bruise at 3 o'clock, and even this is just a minor distraction. In his Census, Doug Winter recorded four examples graded MS64 and four others as MS63. He also suggested the possibility of a couple additional MS63 coins. This example, plated in Winter's book, is well within the ten finest known for the issue.0
