1850-O 25C MS63 认证号22023199, PCGS号5416

Briggs 1A. The mintage of 412,000 is healthy in terms of New Orleans coins. However, like many pre-1853 silver issues, a vast number were lost to melting when bullion prices exceeded the coin's face value. There is only one graded finer in MS64 at PCGS. Typical of this date, there is heavy die rust noted on the obverse with weak peripheral features probably from poor striking and excessive die polishing. Only 2 obverse and 3 reverse dies are thought to have been used.

The 1850-O Quarter is one of the more common dates of the pre-1853 era, but it is every bit as scarce as many of the other dates in Mint State.  Most Uncirculated examples are low-end, usually MS63 or less, and only one or two examples are known in MS64 and above.

The typical 1850-O Quarter is well-struck in the centers, but often shows weak denticles and stars.
