<Our item number 113084><B>1840-C &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61.</B> A nice bold strike with lovely light golden toning. The Classic Head of 1834-39 gave way to a new Christian Gobrecht quarter eagle motif in 1840, thus this 1840-C issue represents the first of a new Liberty design. Very few Mint State examples are traced of this important rarity. Most of them reside at the MS60 to 61 level. The present offering has a sharp central strike &#40;including eagle&#41;, eye-catching luster and patina. It is only to be expected that such pieces are rare and feel intense pressure from Charlotte gold collectors. A minor planchet flake is visible on the second T of STATES as well as several others on the rim nearby. Aside from this, the surfaces are select, and represent a carefully made strike. Only 12,822 struck. <B>Pop 5; 1 in 62, and 1 in 63</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7718&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000-11,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 113084<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins. net/liveauction/41jpegs/113084.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/113084N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
