1858-O 25C MS63 认证号19809811, PCGS号5446

Briggs 2B. The Briggs 1A is typically a fuller strike, with sharper star centrils and reverse legend. This coin however is only slightly mushy in the periphery. It has very attractive toning and lots of remaining luster. From an original mintage of 520,000, this issue is very difficult to acquire in mint state. Two are known finer, an MS64 and MS64+.

In 1858, production of Quarter Dollars at the New Orleans Mint dropped to less than half that of the previous year.  Nonetheless, the mintage of the 1858-O Quarter Dollar remained over 500,000 coins.  This date is a litrle bit tougher to find than some other contemporary O-Mint dates, but it isn't until the grades approach the About Uncirculated level that the search becomes serious.  Mint State examples are downright rare, with the finest being a single PCGS MS64+.

The strike quality on 1858-O Quarters is above-average for a New Orleans Mint product, though it is probably impossible to find an example with full radial lines in all the stars and full denticles on both sides.
