1854-O Liberty Seated Quarter. Arrows. Briggs 1-B. MS-64 (NGC). A radiant Choice example that will delight advanced type collectors and Liberty Seated quarter specialists alike. Both sides are highly lustrous with a vibrant, satiny texture to the finish. The surfaces are virtually brilliant, and present as such at most viewing angles, although upon closer inspection one will discern wisps of faint champagne-gold iridescence. The strike is uncommonly sharp by the standards of the issuing Mint, and the level of preservation is nothing short of remarkable in an 1854-O quarter. This is one of only two New Orleans Mint issues of the Arrows, No Motto Liberty Seated quarter type, and it is more plentiful than the 1855-O in all grades. On the other hand, the 1854-O is far rarer than the 1854, and it is also scarcer than the 1855. In Mint State the 1854-O is highly elusive, with such pieces rated as Rarity-6 by Larry Briggs in the 1991 reference The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of United States Liberty Seated Quarters. Among the finest certified, this delightful near-Gem is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders. NGC Census: 4; only 4 are finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 5433. NGC ID: 23U7.
