1848-C Two and a Half, MS62
Among the Finest Seen, Rare

1848-C $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 1, showing the 8 in the date closer to the dentils than the bust. The 1848-C quarter eagle is a better date from the Charlotte Mint. Although Doug Winter estimates that 200 to 250 pieces are extant overall, the branch mint gold expert writes of the 1848-C: "However, it is very rare and underrated in higher grades." The present MS62 coin is among the finest seen by either grading service, and it is a major rarity at this level, even if no resubmissions are reflected in the certification totals. The strike on this piece is far above average, showing mostly sharp definition of all of the design elements, the sole exception being the left (facing) leg of the eagle that shows slight incompleteness along with diagonal adjustment marks (mint made). Rich orange-gold color paints the lightly marked surfaces, and the fields retain slight reflectivity. Census: 6 in 62, 0 finer (10/16).
