1847-C $2.50 Liberty NGC AU53
The surfaces are pleasing toned yellow gold (many 1847-C quarter eagles have obverse and reverse die finishing marks). Well struck, which is not unheard of for the 1847-C, but which in the general context of Charlotte quarter eagles is unusual. Minor scuff in the left obverse field and a mark above the hair bun. A lovely specimen that will occupy an honored position in the cabinet of its next owner.

Three different die pairs were shipped from Philadelphia to Charlotte for this year's coinage, but the literature is silent as to the number of varieties actually produced. This obverse die has the 1 and the 7 piercing the outline of the neck truncation.
