Lot Description

1840-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. A pleasing coin showing variegated light-green and reddish-champagne toning across the obverse. The reverse displays pale green patina. 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 issues.
