- 1860-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS).
Subtle olive undertones backlight dominant medium gold patina on both sides of this minimally circulated, boldly defined example. Wispy hairlines and a touch of glossiness to the texture are noted for accuracy, although direct lighting calls forth ample remnants of an original satin to modestly semi-reflective finish. The Charlotte Mint quarter eagle series passed into history in 1860 with a mintage of 7,469 coins. All known examples were struck from a single die pairing, which shares its reverse with the 1856-C and 1858-C issues. Survivors are scarce, and with most grading VF or EF this pleasing AU will certainly catch the eye of astute Southern gold collectors.
Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, April 1981.
PCGS# 7792. NGC ID: 25JT.
