- 1846-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-3. MS-61 (PCGS). OGH.
Warm, even, green-gold patina blankets both sides and accents a satiny texture on the surfaces. We see very few abrasions in a BU survivor of this issue, and certainly none that are worthy of singular concern. Typical striking softness shows at the centers of each side, particularly on the reverse, this being almost a diagnostic of the 1846-O issue, and probably the grade-limiting factor. Easily the nicest-looking 1846-O quarter eagle this cataloger has seen in recent memory.
This issue has a limited mintage of just 62,000 pieces, and Doug Winter (2006) accounts for only 150-175 survivors in all grades. The 1846-O is the sixth-rarest New Orleans Mint quarter eagle and surpasses such other issues in this series as the 1847-O, 1850-O, 1851-O and 1852-O. The MS-61 we are offering here is very rare from a condition standpoint and numbers among the finest-known examples.
PCGS Population: 14; with a mere 8 finer through MS-65.
PCGS# 7743. NGC ID: 25H4.
