Description

1842-O Liberty Quarter Eagle, AU55
Elusive Issue in High Grade

1842-O $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. No quarter eagles were struck at the New Orleans Mint in 1841, but production was resumed in 1842 when a small mintage of 19,800 pieces was accomplished. The 1842-O is an elusive issue in high grade, but the supply has increased somewhat in recent years, suggesting a small hoard may have come on the market in the 1990s. This attractive Choice AU specimen exhibits just a touch of wear on the well-detailed design elements and the pleasing orange-gold surfaces are remarkably lightly abraded. Census: 30 in 55, 37 finer (11/21).
