Lot Description

1854-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. AU-58 (NGC). Partially brilliant surfaces with faint blushes of apricot. Much satiny luster can be seen in the protected areas on both sides. The strike is typical for the issue with softness at the eagle's neck and legs. Most of Liberty's tresses show bold definition and each of the obverse stars displays its divisions. It is thought that fewer than 100 specimens survive in all grades. mostly in the VF to EF range. Only 7,295 examples were minted.
