1860-C Quarter Eagle, AU58
Last C-Mint Quarter Eagle

1860-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The year 1860 saw the last production of quarter eagles at the Charlotte Mint. Only 7,469 examples were struck by the famous facility in its last gasp before the Civil War. Scarce in all grades today, experts believe a total of 155-205 specimens survive, with 35-45 pieces in AU grades. The present coin features the typical sharp strike on the obverse, with the reverse details a trifle soft at the center. A few small abrasions on Liberty's face are consistent with the grade. Census: 33 in 58, 12 finer (2/10).(Registry values: P2)
