Description

Pleasing 1850-C Quarter Eagle, Choice XF

1850-C $2 1/2 XF45 NGC. Variety 12-H. The feathers extend through the upper right of the mintmark, identifying this variety. With a mintage of just 9,148 pieces, the 1850-C is a scarce issue, and it is considerably difficult to locate specimens that are not heavily circulated. This orange-gold example has well-defined stars but is soft at the centers, as typically seen. Scattered light abrasions are present, but none are significant. Darker areas of detritus inside of the reverse lettering are noted, but they are not particularly distracting. Still, a lovely better-grade representative of this low-mintage issue.(Registry values: P2)
