Description

Popular 1854-O Quarter, Huge O Variety

1854-Huge O 25C Arrows Fine 15 SEGS. Briggs 1-A, the only known dies. This coin's wear is even across both sides and leaves suitable details on all major design elements. Free of noteworthy circulation impairments, the surfaces exhibit pleasing sandy-gray patina that deepens to cobalt-blue highlights about the lower obverse and upper reverse peripheries. The mintmark, which is this coin's most prominent feature, is visibly misshapen and dominates the entire lower reverse. The diagnostic die cracks of this scarce variety are also readily evident despite the heavy wear. A desirable and widely pursued variety, it will require a strong bid for the successful collector to win this coin for his or her collection.
