Description

1852-C Quarter Eagle, AU55
Well Struck With Attractive Color

1852-C $2 1/2 AU55 PCGS. Variety 1, the only dies for the date. The meager mintage of 9,772 pieces makes the 1852-C quarter eagle a challenging issue in all grades. Experts believe a total of 115-165 examples of the date survive today, with only about 30 specimens qualifying for an AU designation. The present coin is sharply struck for a C-mint issue, but the surfaces show the mint-made roughness characteristic of the date. Attractive bright greenish-gold color enhances the overall visual appeal. Population: 12 in 55, 11 finer (2/10).(Registry values: P2)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
