Lot 2341
1840-C $2.50 Liberty. Pittman. NGC graded AU-58. Only 4,643 minted. Pop 15; 3 in 60; 5 in 61; 1 in 62; 3 in 63. A quick glance at the photographs of these sharp C and D mint quarter eagles confirms what we see under a magnifying glass or with the naked eye: many of the coins in this consignment are downright fantastic! Consider this 1840-C from the famed John Jay Pittman collection of about 10 years ago. It has excellent wide rims, nice definition, but best of all, very clean surfaces for the high grade.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
