- 1848-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (9-F). MS-62 (PCGS). The 1848-C is a very interesting issue among Charlotte Mint Quarter Eagles. In terms of total number of coins believed extant, this 16,788-piece delivery is actually among the more plentiful in this Southern gold series. On the other hand, the 1848-C ranks ninth in high-grade rarity among the 20 C-mint Quarter Eagle issues (per Doug Winter, 2008). Mint State coins are exceedingly rare and probably number fewer than 10 distinct examples.<br /> The finest '48-C Two-and-a-Halves known to the major certification services are MS-62s. This PCGS-certified piece is a pop 1/0 coin with medium-orange color and considerable vibrancy to a satin-to-semi-prooflike finish. Sharply struck from the dies and uncommonly well preserved at the lower reaches of Mint State, even pedigree markers are difficult to discern. This coin is the finest example of the 1848-C Quarter Eagle listed on page 86 of the 2008 book <em>Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861 </em>by Doug Winter.
