Introducción de monedas
Jeff Garrett:As the low mintage would indicate, the 1842-C Liberty Head quarter eagle is a rare coin in any grade. Most seen are well circulated and poorly struck, especially on the centers of the obverse. A small die break is evident on the reverse from the tip of the left wing in to the rim. This is observed on every example we have seen. When offered for sale, the typical coin is usually well circulated, and coins with any luster remaining are seldom seen. Only a few others have crossed the Mint State barrier, and those coins just barely make the grade. The Smithsonian coin is a modest Extremely Fine example. The finest known example of this date is the ex Stanley Elrod coin graded MS 65 and is by far the finest graded. The coin last sold at auction in February 1999 for $90,850.Leer más
