They had trouble calibrating their coin press properly to make them, and of course, they had to make twice as many quarter eagles as they did half eagles process the same amount of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting to note that in its final years, the Charlotte Mint alternated between making gold dollars and quarter eagles. From 1853 to 1859, the Charlotte Mint made gold dollars only during the odd numbered years. Staring in 1858, the Charlotte Mint made quarter eagles on the even numbered years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
