1847-O Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter Variety Two. Repunched Date. MS-61 (NGC). This is the scarcest of the three-known varieties of the 1847-O Quarter Eagle, attributable by repunching on the digits 18 in the date and a normal O mintmark (i.e., it is not repunched) on the reverse. A sharply struck BU with bright honey-orange color, both sides exhibit decided semi-brilliant tendencies in the fields when observed with the aid of a good light. A bit scuffy throughout, yet free of singularly conspicuous abrasions. The 1847-O (124,000 pieces produced) is very scarce in Mint State and rarer in high grades than the 1839-O Classic, 1843-O Small Date, 1854-O and 1857-O Quarter Eagles.
