<B>1840-C $2 1/2 MS61 NGC.</B></I> Variety 1-A. The first Liberty Head two and a half emission from the Charlotte Mint, which began production of gold coinage only two years earlier. Although the NGC <I>Census Report</B></I> and PCGS <I>Population Report</B></I> show an aggregate total of 20 1840-C quarter eagles in Uncirculated condition as of (3/08), Garrett-Guth (2006) suggest that "about a dozen Mint State coins are known," with resubmissions being responsible for the artificially high numbers at the grading services. This is a sharply struck coin that has bright, semireflective fields. The only surface blemishes worthy of note on this lightly abraded coin are a planchet flake out of Liberty's jawline, a mark below the eagle's beak, and a copper alloy stain to the left of the eagle's left (facing) wing.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
