Lot 2351
1844-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Only 11,622 minted. Well struck. Pop 9; 10 finer. A tiny mark by the lips; lustrous around the stars and main devices as well as luster peeking from behind the legends on the reverse. Important as a low mintage, low population rarity, and a coin for the specialist in this difficult series. Present yourself with this treat by being the top bidder and you will never regret it (PCGS # 7735) .
The 1844-C is known as one of the worst struck Charlotte quarter eagles in the series. The typical coin is mushy with countless nicks and scratches, and many have planchet laminations as well. When viewing this coin, one would not know that is the case, however.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
