Description

Low Mintage 1852-C Quarter Eagle, XF40

1852-C $2 1/2 XF40 PCGS. Variety 14-I. The only variety known. A yellow-orange obverse contrasts nicely against the deeper olive-gold patina on the reverse. The center of the obverse is weakly struck, as typically seen, but the stars show above average details, especially considering the grade. Also noteworthy for the grade is the impressive luster throughout the fields, particularly on the obverse side. A nearly microscopic mark is noted on the obverse, but the rest of the coin shows only minor abrasions. A mere 9,772 pieces were struck for this issue, and the number of half eagles produced at the Charlotte Mint would stay below 10,000 for the remainder of the series.(Registry values: P2)
