- 1858-C Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (18-J), the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). Apart from the often-seen softness of strike near the top of the obverse portrait and over the eagle's left (facing) leg on the reverse, this minimally worn example is quite boldly defined by the standards of the issuing Mint. The color is an even khaki-orange shade that, although peppered with wispy abrasions, reveals no individually mentionable handling marks. A satin-to-slightly granular texture is most vibrant when viewed with the aid of direct light.<br /> Despite having been produced to the extent of just 9,056 pieces, the 1858-C is one of the more readily obtainable issues among Charlotte Mint Quarter Eagles. It is not the most common, however, being rarer than the 1839-C Classic, 1843-C Large Date and 1847-C in terms of total number of coins believed to exist.
