<B>1838-C $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 1-A, the only known die pairing. Douglas Winter, in <I>Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861</B></I>, indicates that the 1838-C is usually seen in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades, and is rare in About Uncirculated and very rare in Mint State. <BR> This high-end About Uncirculated example displays ample luster issuing from peach-gold surfaces laced with tints of light green. The design elements are uniformly well struck on both sides (Winter writes that many specimens exhibit a better struck obverse). Aside from a few minute marks consistent with light circulation, this is a relatively clean coin that will please its new owner..<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Kneass<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
