- 1843-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Large Date, Plain 4. AU-53 (NGC). An inviting khaki-gold example with more vivid pinkish-rose highlights engaging the peripheral devices. Smooth in hand with a good quality of strike for a product of the Louisiana branch mint, this is an uncommonly well produced and preserved coin that is sure to catch the eye of Southern gold enthusiasts. As the mintages might suggest (76,000 vs. 288,002 coins), the 1843-O Large Date is far scarcer than its identically dated Small Date counterpart in numismatic circles. In fact, Douglas Winter (Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909, 2006 edition) ranks the 1843-O Large Date as the second rarest New Orleans Mint quarter eagle in terms of total number of coins extant. The author provides as estimate of just 75 to 85 survivors, a range that seems a bit low by current standards, but which still underscores the significance of the present offering. PCGS# 7732.
