Description du lot

1842-O Liberty Seated Quarter. Large Date. Briggs 2-B. Repunched Date. MS-62 (PCGS). A generally brilliant example with an impressively sharp strike in a New Orleans Mint quarter from the 1840s. Highly lustrous, as well, both sides are predominantly satiny in texture with decided semi-reflective qualities in the fields. Although overshadowed by its identically dated Small Date counterpart, the 1842-O Large Date is a challenging issue to collect in its own right, especially in the finer circulated and Mint State grades. Indeed, Larry Briggs (1991) ranks Uncirculated survivors as Rarity-7, highlighting the significance of the present offering for the advanced collector. PCGS Population: 7; 13 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 5402. NGC ID: 27HG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
