- Lot Description
- 1843-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Small Date. Winter-5. MS-61 (NGC). Crisply impressed by the standards of the issuing mint, we note razor sharp to full detail throughout the design. The fields are modestly semi-reflective in finish, and a warm overlay of honey-orange patina provides further appeal. Despite its status as the most plentiful New Orleans Mint quarter eagle in an absolute sense, the 1843-O Small Date is notably scarce in Uncirculated preservation. Impressive provenance! Provenance: Ex Henry Chapman's sale of the George H. Earle Collection, June 1912, lot 2536; John H. Clapp; Clapp estate, 1942; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; our (Bowers and Ruddy's) sale of the United States Gold Coin Collection (Eliasberg), October 1982, lot 128. PCGS# 7731. NGC ID: 25GR. Click here for certification details from NGC.
