Description
Near-Mint 1856-C Quarter Eagle
1856-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 17-J, the only die pair for the year. The 1856-C is a challenging issue that is slightly underrated today, due to its proximity to the famously low-mintage 1856-D quarter eagle. Still, series enthusiasts know the difficulty in procuring a near-Mint example. The radiant yellow-gold surfaces of this piece are minimally marked with pillowy detail on the portrait. Census: 23 in 58, 13 finer (8/08).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25J8, PCGS# 7778, GSID# 8378)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 4.18 grams
AGW: 0.12095oz
