Description
The 1858 (C) Liberty Head Quarter Eagle is a Gold Quarter Eagle produced at the Charlotte Mint as part of the Liberty Head Quarter Eagles 1840-1907 series. With a mintage of 9,056, this is a scarce issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 16% of total production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. Low-mintage year with production confined to Philadelphia as sectional tensions grew. Struck at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina, which struck gold coins from 1838 until the Civil War closed it in 1861 — all Charlotte mint coins are scarce. Estimated market value ranges from $3.4K to $31K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 4.18 grams, 18 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7787.
