- 1843-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Small Date. Winter-1, the only known dies. Die State III. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome Extremely Fine quality for this leading rarity among Charlotte Mint quarter eagles. Warmly and evenly patinated in deep honey-gold, both sides are uncommonly smooth in hand for a lightly circulated Southern gold coin. Boldly defined overall with outstanding eye appeal. The Charlotte Mint produced only 2,988 Small Date quarter eagles in 1843, as opposed to 23,076 coins of the Large Date logotype. The 1843-C Small Date is the rarest C-mint quarter eagle in numismatic circles, Doug Winter (2008) accounting for only 75 to 100 survivors in all grades. It is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing example at the EF grade level, and we expect this coin to see spirited bidding among discerning Southern gold collectors. Struck from the latest, most common state of the obverse die with a prominent crack from the lower left border that has resulted in noticeable bulging in the field before Liberty's neck. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. PCGS# 7729. NGC ID: 25GM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
