Reflective 1852-O Quarter Eagle, MS63

1852-O $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. During the early 1850s the influx of newly mined California gold ensured higher gold production at all of the different mints, including 140,000 quarter eagles that were struck at New Orleans in 1852. Despite this mintage, the surviving population seems to be quite low, and Mint State examples are rare at all grade levels. This piece is the only MS63 graded by PCGS, and NGC has graded just coins in this grade (3/09), with none finer at either service. This example is an impressive green-gold piece with fully reflective fields and brilliant luster. A few minor hairlines are evident but undistracting. Excellent overall eye appeal.(Registry values: P2)
