Description

Scarce 1855-C Quarter Eagle, VF30

1855-C $2 1/2 VF30 PCGS. Variety 16-I. The only variety known. Attractive butter-yellow patina overlies the surfaces, which are relatively unabraded given the grade. Pockets of luster are still visible in the protected areas and enhance the great eye appeal. The obverse strike is above average, although the stars are soft, and the reverse has the usual weakness on the shield and eagle. The denticles and reverse lettering, however, are sharp. A mere 3,677 pieces were minted, which is the lowest of any Charlotte Mint quarter eagle (unless one counts the 1843-C Small and Large Date issues separately). Housed in an old green PCGS holder. (Registry values: P2)
