Lot Description

1852-O Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A. AU-50 (NGC). An attractive piece that, at first glance, appears finer than the stated grade. The surfaces are smooth and unmarked and there is a fair portion of satin luster that remains evident. Closer examination reveals even high point wear across both sides, which defines this attractive piece as an AU specimen of this scarce issue from the New Orleans Mint. Census: 2; 6 finer. PCGS# 5420. Census: 2; 6 finer.
