Perhaps you've never heard of the famous "C"mint, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Even many coin dealers and serious coin collectors know little about this Eastern branch of the U.S. Mint. In fact, it's one of the best-kept secrets in all of coin collecting! Only the $1, $2.5 and $5 gold coins were minted at the Charlotte Mint.
The 1850-C Liberty Head quarter eagle isquite rare in Mint State condition. More examples, are seen in lower states of preservation due to the fact that this issue saw very heavy circulation. The 1850-C had a mintage of only 9,148! |
