<B>1846-C<$2 1/2> MS61 NGC.</B></I> Variety 7-F. The '46-C is one of the premier rarities in the Charlotte series of quarter eagles, ranking fourth of the 20 issues in overall rarity and second in high grade rarity. Only 4,808 pieces were struck and it is reliably estimated that today only 65-75 coins are known, three-quarters of which are VF or lower. This is one of the few Uncirculated coins known and it is a lower Condition Census example, being tied with at least two other pieces at the MS61 grade level. Better struck on the obverse than the average '46-C, the reverse is soft, as usual. The green-gold surfaces show just the slightest hint of reddish patina on each side and there are no mentionable abrasions present. There are, however, two areas of what appear to be either planchet roughness or die clashing on the reverse above the eagle's wings. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. 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.
