<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charlottedude, post: 925506, member: 26010&quot;]I was only able to make the show for a couple of hours on Saturday morning although I already had a certain coin in mind that a dealer, who I knew would attend, had in his inventory. It was only a matter of getting to a price that was agreeable, (and ignoring the lighting issues the convention center was having). The target was an 1852-C Quarter Eagle in a PCGS AU-50 holder. This date frequently comes with a mushy obverse and reverse strike in the center areas - original mintage: 9,772. Suffice it to say that the obverse on this one has pretty much all of its detail there, with some weakness prevailing on the reverse eagle. It ranks 8th in overall rarity in the Charlotte QE series, with an estimated 115 - 140 extant. I&#039;m diggin&#039; it!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/abisgator/PC-pics/IMG_8530-1.jpg?t=1277053270" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/abisgator/PC-pics/IMG_8537-1.jpg?t=1277053270" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also pulled an old friend out of the safety deposit box for a re-imaging job.</p><p>1842-C QE PCGS XF-40 Mintage: 6,729&nbsp; Estimated extant: 100-125 - ranking it 4th in overall Charlotte QE rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/abisgator/PC-pics/IMG_8513-1.jpg?t=1277053270" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/abisgator/PC-pics/IMG_8519-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>c&#039;dude[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
