1842-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. Fine-15 (PCGS).Evenly patinated in medium straw-gold, both sides retain bold outline definition to all major design elements. Quarter eagle production at the Charlotte Mint dipped below 10,000 coins in 1842, the first time such a limited mintage was posted for the Liberty Head design type. The 1842-C was produced to the extent of just 6,729 coins, survivors scarce even in lower circulated grades, as here. A coin that is sure to catch the eye of astute Southern gold specialists.From the Maurice Snow Collection.
