拍品描述： 1840-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF Details--Cleaned (PCGS).An overall boldly defined example with minimal wear and a touch of striking softness to the central high points. Deep olive undertones backlight dominant straw-gold patina, the surfaces subdued to explain the PCGS qualifier, yet presenting quite well in hand. An immensely popular issue among Southern gold collectors, the 1840-C is the premier Charlotte Mint quarter eagle of the Liberty Head design type and the first from this coinage facility with the mintmark positioned on the reverse. Enjoying an above average rate of survival as a first year issue, the 1840-C is among the more readily obtainable C-mint quarter eagles, the present example a strong candidate for inclusion in a budget minded mintmarked type set.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, March 18, 1981.
