1840-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).A pleasing coin showing pale green iridescence over orange-gold surfaces. Boldly struck overall, if a tad weak over the centers and peripheral devices. This lovely quarter eagle represents the first year of issue of the Liberty Head design. Accordingly it is a key item for type set consideration and a prize for anyone specializing in Charlotte Mint coin issue.From Pine Tree Auctions Walter Breen U.S. Gold Sale, March 1974, lot 174.
