Losbeschreibung

1854-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). Delightful orange-gold with greenish iridescence for the planchet stock. Rare with a meager mintage of 7,295 pieces for the entire year. Few survive in mint condition, with a total of about 20 reported between both NGC and PCGS, none finer than a single MS-63 coin at the top. The strike is decent but not bold at the centers as these are seldom if ever found with sharp definition throughout. Clean and attractive surface quality as Liberty's face and neck are free of heavy marks. Tied with about ten others (at most) as the second finest certified of issue and a desirable coin.
