Description

1846-C Liberty Quarter Eagle, MS61
Challenging Branch Mint Issue

1846-C $2 1/2 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. The Charlotte Mint reopened for coinage operations in 1846, after a one-year hiatus, but production of quarter eagles and half eagles was extremely limited. Only 4,808 Liberty quarter eagles were struck, making the issue scarce in all grades today. The coins were released into circulation, making Mint State survivors especially elusive.

This impressive Mint State specimen offers well-detailed design elements, with just a touch of softness on the central reverse. The pleasing yellow-gold surfaces are lightly marked for the grade, outside of a long scratch in the right obverse field. Prooflike reflectivity is evident in sheltered areas and the overall presentation is quite attractive. Population: 2 in 61, 4 finer (10/21).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25H2, PCGS# 7741, Greysheet# 8351)

Weight: 4.18 grams
