Description

Splendid, Lustrous MS64 1847-C Quarter Eagle
One of the Finest Examples Known

1847-C $2 1/2 MS64 NGC. Variety 8-F, the only known dies for this date. Tied with a few other pieces as finest known, this is a top quality piece for the date. The production of 23,226 pieces is one of the highest Charlotte Mint totals for any date in the quarter eagle series. Only in 1843 did this mint produce more quarter eagles, but that annual total is represented by two major variations, thus some consider the 1847-C to have the highest mintage of any issue. This is also an instance where mintage actually relates to the number known today. The specimen offered here is boldly struck, highly unusual among coinage of the Charlotte Mint, and it also has fully brilliant and frosty green-gold luster. A few light handling marks are noted in the fields.
