Historic XF40 1860-C Quarter Eagle

1860-C $2 1/2 XF40 PCGS. Variety 1, the only die pairing known for this low-mintage pre-Civil War issue. The 1860-C represents the last quarter eagle issue of the Charlotte Mint, which would make only half eagles in 1861, including a few hundred thought to have been made under Confederate rule. The 1860-C quarter eagle was produced to the extent of only 7,400 pieces, with most certified survivors--a combined population of 216 coins at NGC and PCGS--averaging XF40 to XF45. This piece displays more remaining luster than expected over orange-gold surfaces that are free of mentionable distractions. The planchet is well-produced, and the generous eye appeal of this piece for the grade will delight the successful bidder. Population: 15 in 40, 59 finer (9/09).(Registry values: P2)
