Lot 1683
1847-C. PCGS graded AU-58. Lovely rich golden toning. Only 23,226 minted. A single die variety for this issue. The 1847-C, being a plentiful Charlotte quarter eagle, possibly owing to a small hoard that existed at one time, is a good choice for a first-time buyer who wants to own one of these legendary Southern branch mint gold pieces. The light to medium-gold surfaces of this near-Mint State example earn the grade with well-struck devices and exceptionally choice, smooth surfaces. Whereas most survivors have anything from a few scattered marks to so many that one might suppose the whole Russian army marched over them, there are absolutely no detractions on this remarkable (and quite beautiful) AU58. Pop 17; 26 finer, 7 in 61, 7 in 62, 6 in 63, 6 in 64 (PCGS # 7745) .
Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,000.
