- 1840-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Pinkish-rose rim highlights frame deep gold surfaces, the appearance uncommonly original in a Charlotte Mint gold coin in a certified AU holder. Plenty of bold striking detail remains, and the persistent viewer will also be rewarded by flickers of satiny mint luster. 1840 marked the introduction of Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head design type to the quarter eagle series, ensuring that examples struck at each of the four operating mints that year would eventually see perpetual demand from collectors. The Charlotte Mint, opened just two years prior in 1838, struck 12,822 quarter eagles, rivaling the 18,859 examples struck by the central mint in Philadelphia that year. The 1840-C issue saw extensive regional circulation and very few examples remain for collectors today. Of an extant population of perhaps 150 pieces total, most grade no finer than EF, stressing the significance and desirability of the present offering. PCGS# 7718. NGC ID: 25GB.
