- 1842-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS). With no quarter eagles struck in the New Orleans Mint in 1841 and a mere 19,800 pieces produced in 1842, the 1842-O as a issue suffered grievously in circulation. Survivors number perhaps just 125-150 pieces (per Doug Winter, 2020), and the issue is the third rarest of 14 New Orleans Mint quarter eagle deliveries. An evenly patinated, olive-khaki survivor, the present example is boldly defined with only light wear to report. A bit scuffy from commercial use, yet free of individually mentionable abrasions. There is a faint planchet streak (as made) in the reverse field behind the eagle's head that we mention solely for accuracy. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. Earlier ex our Baltimore Auction of June 2011, lot 9241. PCGS# 7726. NGC ID: 25GK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
