1847-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. MS-63 (PCGS). Remarkably well struck for a Charlotte Mint coin of the era, this lovely quarter eagle exhibits frosty yellow-gold surfaces and lively luster. Notable prooflike reflexivity is noted in the fields on each side. Superior eye appeal overall.<p>The 1847-C quarter eagle is one of the most available of the denomination from the Charlotte Mint with a production run of 23,226 pieces. As with all issues from the North Carolina facility, the coins entered circulation locally and saw near constant use. While popular among type collectors, most examples of the issue are found in lower grades, including a fairly large number of damaged and impaired specimens. Above the Choice AU level, what is generally considered a relatively common coin becomes quite scarce and is challenging in Mint State. Premium quality Mint State specimens are few and far between and always command attention by keen observers. A coin not to be missed by type collector and Southern gold enthusiast alike. PCGS# 7745.
