Description

1857-O Two and a Half, MS60
Attractive Final Branch Mint Piece

1857-O $2 1/2 MS60 NGC. Winter-1. The final New Orleans issue of quarter eagles produced a modest 34,000 pieces with many entered into heavy circulation. Branch Mint collecting was not a consideration at the time of issue, so Mint State examples are a condition rarity with NGC showing only 53 finer than MS60 (6/25). This wonderful quarter eagle is olive-gold with soft orange and lilac accents that flash during rotation. Generally well-struck with typical softness in the eagle's right leg, the other design elements show sharp and softly lustrous details with minimal abrasions.(Registry values: P2)
