Lot Description

1842-O Liberty Seated Quarter. Briggs 1-A. Small Date. VF-30 (PCGS). Bright and brilliant silver gray surfaces with all major design elements bold and some sharper detail remaining in the protected areas of the design. The 1842-O Small Date has an unknown mintage, although given the scarcity of survivors it likely comprised a small percentage of the 769,000 quarters struck in the New Orleans Mint that year. Fine examples, as here, have an impressive Rarity-6 rating according to Larry Briggs (The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters, 1991). A find for the specialist. PCGS# 5403. NGC ID: 23SN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
