Lot 1781
1847-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Lightly toned. Lustrous orange-gold toning which makes this a highly attractive coin for the grade. As noted elsewhere, the 1847-C is among the more available Charlotte issues, a variety that is seen with some frequency at the AU level and even in Mint State, hence the fair number listed in the NGC census. Accordingly, the present piece offers a good prospect to the methodical collector of Charlotte coins as well as someone who might enjoy having a C mintmark quarter eagle in a gold type set. The obverse is from a standard four-digit date logotype used on the quarter eagle, with central numerals leaning right and the date placed high in the die, with the 1 and 7 piercing the outline of the neck truncation, both numerals being free of the dentils below. The C mintmark is high, embedded in the branch and arrow feathers. Only 23,226 coins minted. Pop 13; 6 finer; 3 in 63; 3 in 64.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
