Description du lot

1840-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). A pleasing coin showing pale green iridescence over orange-gold surfaces. Boldly struck overall, if a tad weak over the centers and peripheral devices. This lovely quarter eagle represents the first year of issue of the Liberty Head design. Accordingly it is a key item for type set consideration and a prize for anyone specializing in Charlotte Mint coin issue. Provenance: From Pine Tree Auction's Walter Breen U.S. Gold Sale, March 1974, lot 174. PCGS# 7718. NGC ID: 25GB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
