1858-O Quarter Dollar, MS64
Beautifully Toned Condition Rarity

1858-O 25C MS64 PCGS. Unlike its common Philadelphia counterpart, the 1858-O Seated quarter is a rarity in Mint State, regardless of grade. A pair of Gems at PCGS and two more at NGC are the finest known. This near-Gem offers comparable visual appeal at a more affordable price point, and its technical quality is almost on par with its higher-graded counterparts. Sharp detail characterizes the devices, and the frosty fields radiate luminous luster. The interiors display warm golden and lavender hues, while the borders have deeper ocean-blue and mint-green toning.

The O-mint Seated Liberty quarter collection in Mint State presents a challenging but rewarding pursuit for ambitious collectors. The New Orleans Mint closed during the Civil War and did not resume coinage under federal control until 1879. Nonetheless, quarter dollars were not struck at that facility again until 1891. A complete date set requires only 20 coins. Population: 4 in 64, 2 finer (11/16).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23TJ, PCGS# 5446, Greysheet# 5188)
