Description du lot

1851-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Wisps of reddish-rose patina adorn both sides of this otherwise honey-gold example, the obverse more vivid than the reverse. Central detail is good for both the issue and the assigned grade, and the eye appeal is strong for a circulated survivor of this challenging issue. Scarcer than even a limited mintage of 14,923 pieces might suggest, the 1851-C has an extant population of fewer than 350, if not 300 coins in all grades. This appreciably lustrous Choice EF would make a pleasing addition to many Southern gold sets. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. PCGS# 7760. NGC ID: 25HM.
