1844-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-40 (PCGS).
Bright lemon-gold highlights adorn otherwise yellow-gold surfaces. The detail is suitably visible for a circulated Charlotte Mint coin, the central reverse is softly defined. The surfaces are overall smooth in hand. A fire at this coinage facility late in 1844 precluded the production of an 1845-C quarter eagle issue, resulting in a higher rate of attrition through circulation for the 1844-C. Indeed, survivors from a mintage of 11,622 pieces are scarce in an absolute sense and seldom grade finer than VF.
