详细说明

1840-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-2. Small O. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. An inviting piece, both sides exhibit blushes of pale reddish-rose peripheral iridescence to otherwise deep gold surfaces. First of the New Orleans Mint quarter eagle issues in the Liberty Head series, the 1840-O is also eagerly sought by specialists due to its scarcity in today's market. In fact, survivors from a mintage of 33,580 coins are more elusive than those of all other O-Mint quarter eagles with the exception of the 1842-O, 1843-O Large Date, 1845-O and 1856-O. The present example, from the scarce and conditionally challenging Winter-2 Small O die pairing, holds particular appeal for specialists. Provenance: From the Collection of Steve Studer. PCGS Population: 14; 11 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 7720. NGC ID: 25GD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
