1855-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (16-I), the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS). 1897 Liberty Quarter Eagle. MS-66+ (NGC). The lowest mintage issue among Charlotte Mint quarter eagles, the original delivery for the 1855-C amounted to just 3,677 pieces. This is the rarest C-mint quarter eagle after only the 1843-C Small Date, and Doug Winter (<em>Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861</em>, 2008 edition) accounts for fewer than 110 survivors in all grades. A bit lightly struck in the centers, this piece still presents as overall bold in the absence of all but trivial wear. Even olive-gold color to both sides, with no individually mentionable abrasions apart from a wispy graze to Liberty's cheek.
