The 1841-C is among the rarest Charlotte quarter eagles. Its true rarity is compounded by the fact that it is a poorly produced issue on top of how all known examples of this date are heavily abraded, most of which have numerous marks on the rims. This is among the hardest quarter eagles from this mint to find with clean surfaces. This is compounded by the fact that an unusually high percentage of survivors have been cleaned. Since most have been cleaned, the typical piece shows a washed-out, unnatural coloration. Original coins often have a pronounced orange-gold hue which may be overlaid with rich coppery shadings. Due to heavily abraded surfaces and unappealing coloration, the eye appeal of the typical 1841-C quarter eagle is well below-average. There are only a small number known with good eye appeal and these typically command a strong premium among knowledgeable specialists aside from the only 110 known in all grades and quality. We can see this by the low number of CAC examples and the premiums with which they sell for. A VF20 CAC sold in 2017 for $1,880. This example a VF25 CAC is a PCGS pop 1 with an attractive orange-gold hue, is mark free, and posses a full rim. Next CAC comp is in XF40 CAC where one recently 03/2020 sold for $6,600 nearly three times non-CAC price.
