Lot 1210
1858-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Only 9,056 minted. Part of a duet of 1858-C Liberty quarter eagles consigned to us. This Charlotte release is the most prominent C-mint quarter eagle produced in the 1850s, and in fact the most readily available C-mint of any decade after the 1839-C, 1843-C Large Date, 1847-C, and 1848-C. Although common in an absolute sense fails to cover the grade class of Mint State, since the Charlotte Mint recorded an original delivery of just 9,056 pieces in 1858. The preservation makes this example rarer still. Prior to the consignment of this coin, we had handled only on occasional '58-C quarter eagle in Mint condition, all of which qualify for Condition Census standing: Pop 17; 13 in 62; 2 in 63. In a new NGC 4 pronged holder (PCGS # 7787) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
