1855-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. EF Details--Repaired (PCGS).

Smooth and curiously textured beneath a glass bust still appealing to the naked eye. Pale golden-wheat in color with pinkish iridescence glowing from the protected areas. The 1855-C boasts the lowest mintage of any date in the Charlotte Mint quarter eagle series. Only 3,677 examples were produced, survivors ranking behind only those of the 1843-C Small Date as the rarest C-mint two-and-a-halves in numismatic circles. Finer than the typically encountered VF or EF survivor, the present example represents a significant find for the advanced Southern gold collector.

PCGS# 7775. NGC ID: 25J5.
