Description

Popular 1860-C Quarter Eagle, AU55

1860-C $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 1, the only known. The 1860-C quarter eagle is the last issue from the Charlotte Mint and is quite popular as such. About Uncirculated is the highest grade most collectors will ever see, as Mint State coins are elusive. Indeed, NGC and PCGS have certified only 15 Uncirculated examples, the highest MS63. Variegated yellow- and reddish-gold patina resides on this Choice AU specimen that displays slightly reflective luster in the recessed areas. The design elements exhibit better definition than ordinarily seen, though the claw and leg feathers are soft. Some of the usual planchet roughness is visible under magnification, more so on the reverse. The contact marks present are mostly minute and do not unduly disturb.
