1847-O Quarter Eagle, MS63+
Strong Condition Census Coin

1847-O $2 1/2 MS63+ PCGS. Variety 3. The left foot of the 1 in the date is free from the dentils, and the O mintmark is equidistant from the 1 and the fraction bar. This New Orleans quarter eagle issue was struck to the extent of 124,000 coins, of which Doug Winter estimates 300 to 400 pieces survive. About 15 to 20 of them are in Uncirculated condition, and this Select Mint State representative falls toward the middle or even upper end of the Condition Census.

The 1847-O is generally poorly struck, but the obverse here exhibits impressively sharp detail on the portrait, stars, and date. The eagle is slightly softer with weakness on the left leg, but overall detail on that side remains strong. Bright yellow-gold surfaces beam with vibrant satin luster. Minimally marked for the grade level. Population: 3 in 63 (1 in 63+), 2 finer (6/22).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25H8, PCGS# 7747, Greysheet# 8357)
