Lot Description

1848-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1. AU-50 (PCGS). A delightful example that is uncommonly well produced for this conditionally challenging issue. Vivid honey-orange surfaces retain plenty of satiny reflectivity in the fields -- very pretty. The strike is bold to sharp throughout with none of the die buckling seen in examples of this issue from the Winter-2 pairing. Although relatively easy to obtain in lower grades by pre-Civil War Southern gold standards, the 1848-C ranks among the top 10 rarest quarter eagles from the Charlotte Mint in AU and Mint State. This is a superior quality survivor in all regards that is worthy of serious bidder consideration. PCGS# 7750. NGC ID: 25HB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
