1843-C. Large Date, Plain 4
.
PCGS graded MS-
63+PQ.
CAC Approved
. Lovely rich golden toning. Lots
of mint luster. A wonder coin. The fairly scarce 1843-C
Large Date is seen more commonly in the lower circulated
grades, rarely is one offered in Choice Mint State 63 condi-
tion.
The present eye-catching example shows a noticeably
warm golden hue with only minor soft strike in the central
obverse and reverse, as on pretty much all known exam-
ples. The central reverse shows weakness on the eagle's
left leg and the shield. The date and mintmark are recut on
all known specimens, including this one. The yellow-gold
luster reveals surfaces that are satiny and one might almost
say flashy, with a few very minor ticks in the obverse field.
Could deserve an even finer grade. Only 23,076 minted.
Pop 1; 2 finer, 1 in 64, 1 in 65

1846-D. PCGS graded Genuine, Scratch - AU Details
.
Mostly untoned with reverse scratches. Only 19,303 struck. The
1846-D quarter eagle has a similar mintage to the 1845-D, but
it is seen slightly more often. The obverse is generally well
struck with no weakness on the hair and little on the denticles.
On the reverse, some lightness shows on the denticles from 4
o'clock to 12 o'clock. The central reverse impresses up with its
sharpness, with no weakness on the eagle's left leg, claws, or
shield. (
