<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1843-C $2 1/2 Small Date, Crosslet 4 AU58 NGC. Winter 4-C. Die State III. The 26,064 quarter eagles that flowed from the presses at the Charlotte Mint in 1843 were not equally divided between the issue's two distinct subtypes. A sizable majority of these coins (23,076 pieces) displayed the large date logotype that made its debut in the Liberty quarter eagle series this year. A mere 2,988 1843-C quarter eagles, however, displayed the small date logotype that characterized the 1840-1842 C-mint quarter eagle deliveries. The latter has long been recognized as a separate and important issue in this long-lived series. It is also heralded as the rarest quarter eagle from the Charlotte Mint. This is an exceptional piece for the grade, since the bright semi-prooflike luster is virtually complete and there are no significant abrasions or planchet deficiencies. Not fully struck, but the details are not mushy as often encountered for pieces from this popular southern branch mint.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
