Introducción de monedas
Jeff Garrett:A fire in July of 1844 closed the Charlotte Mint until 1846. Production was limited, and therefore, the 1846-C Liberty Head quarter eagle is rare in all grades. The mintage of 4,808 coins is one of the lowest for the series. One or two high grade coins are known; otherwise most are well worn. On average, just a few examples are offered for sale in any given year. The most interesting striking characteristic for the 1846-C quarter eagle is the die rust that is so clearly evident on the obverse. This can be seen even on well-worn coins. Coins from clashed dies are also not uncommon. Some may be seen with matte-like surfaces, probably the result of saltwater submersion.Leer más
