<Our item number 132712><B>1850-C &#36;2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61.</B> Only 9,148 struck. Lightly toned. It is a fact that the 1850-C is generally regarded as the second most common C-mint quarter eagle from the 1850s. However, what is also true is that the issue becomes increasingly scarce in the higher grades with precious few Mint States known. The peripheral details on this handsome coin are much sharper than average, which makes it an example that is strongly struck. Some of the interior devices show characteristic softness, noticeable at the eagle&#39;s feathers and talons, but it is important not to overlook the fact that the reverse die used here was only activated for a portion of the &#39;50-C production and was its first and only usage. A slight green-gold patina cover the very lightly abraded surface luster for an acceptably high grade. <B>Pop 14; 3 finer, 2 in 62, 1 in 63</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7756&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;13,000 - 15,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 132712<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/132712.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/132712N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/132712N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/132712N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
