1843-C $2.50 Large Date MS (PCGS#7728)

The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1843-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. Large Date. Winter Variety 1 (5-D), the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). Presenting uncommonly well for a lightly circulated C-mint Quarter Eagle, both sides retain plenty of satin-to-semi-reflective luster that is best appreciated with the aid of a good light. The outward appearance at all angles is one of warm green-gold color that, on the obverse at least, also includes intermingled highlights of rose-orange tinting. Overall scuffiness to the surfaces does not include any individually mentionable abrasions, allowing one to focus on an otherwise bold strike that comes up short in only a few isolated areas in the centers.<br />     More plentiful than the 1843-C Small Date, the 1843-C Large Date is also among the more readily obtainable issues in the Charlotte Mint Quarter Eagle series. It is, nonetheless, rarer in high grades (read: AU and Mint State) than the 1839-C Classic, 1847-C and 1858-C.
