Description
1891-O 25C VG 10 ANACS. This is a well worn example of the New Orleans Mint's first quarter dollar issue since 1860. The majority of the 68,000 pieces delivered by the southern branch mint this year entered circulation and remained there long enough to account for the scarcity of this issue in all grades. An attractive coin for the grade, this specimen displays light charcoal toning in the recessed areas that pales to slate-gray on the highpoints. A small indentation in the obverse field just above the 1 in the date, as well as three more near stars 10 through 12, are worthy of individual attention. Always in demand among O-mint specialists, examples of this issue never fail to sell for strong prices at auction.
