<B>1858-C $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> Winter 18-J. The 1858-C is an isolated issue that probably saw extensive circulation because no Quarter Eagles were produced at the Charlotte Mint in 1857 or 1859. Nevertheless, this issue is the most readily obtainable C-mint Quarter Eagle from the 1850s despite a paltry original mintage of 9,056 coins. The average grade among survivors is XF, and Mint State examples number fewer than 10 pieces (Winter, 1997). In his book <I>Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861,</B></I> Winter lists six MS62 PCGS coins at the top of the Condition Census for this issue, and a total of four coins, three at PCGS and one at NGC, have now been certified as MS63 (4/07).<BR> This coin is rather well defined for a product of the Charlotte Mint, although there are a few areas of bluntness over the eagle's portrait. Both sides are bright with glowing fields and a predominantly orange-gold appearance. There are a few swirls of copper patina over the lower obverse and the upper left reverse. Pedigree concerns compel us to mention a small indentation in the reverse field above the tip of the olive branch.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
