1841-O 25C MS67 认证号25276063, PCGS号5400

Briggs 3D. Extensive pedigree research by Gene Gardner led to the conclusion that this coin came out of the New Orleans Hoard of 1982. This treasure hoard was unearthed during the Hotel Meridien rennovation at the egde of the French Quarter. Several boxes of coins were broken open by an excavator digging beneath the sidewalk and locals began retrieving coins in the dirt, some in their business suits. Most were Spanish coins, but around a hundred seated quarters dated 1840, 41 were in the treasure. Before retrieval could be completed, the contractor filled the hole, covered it with cement, and continued rennovations. This event was one of several that sparked my interest in coin collecting at a young age. Ex: Gardner, Bender, Benedict. CAC.

The 1841-O Quarter Dollar is one of the more common dates of the 1840s, though it's mintage is not the largest.  The 1841-O is also one of the most plentiful pre-1850 Quarters, though "plentiful" in this case is still rather scarce, nor does "plentiful" mean the coins are particularly nice.  The typical Mint State grade for this date is MS62.  Choice examples are decidedly rare, and Gems are non-existent with the exception of a single, remarkable PCGS MS67.

The overall strike on the 1841-O Quarter is usually quite good for a New Orleans product, though it is never quite as sharp as on a comparably graded Philadelphia Mint issue.
