1841-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS).Pleasingly toned in olive-gold, the obverse contrasts with a reverse that displays wisps of reddish-rose iridescence to dominant deep gold. Light hairlining explains the PCGS qualifier, although the in hand appearance is rather appealing. Well defined overall with plenty of luster remaining. Not saved to the same extent as the first year 1840-C, the 1841-C is one of the scarcest Charlotte Mint quarter eagles of the Liberty Head design type. There are fewer than 250, if not 225 coins extant from a mintage of 10,281 pieces. This is a more affordable alternative for the budget minded Southern gold enthusiast.From the Maurice Snow Collection.
