Seated Quarters
1840-O 25C No Drapery MS62 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 1-A, Flynn RPD-001. This satiny example offers a lovely blend of straw-gold and slate-gray patina. Well-defined with no trace of wear and only faint, wispy abrasions in the fields. A sharply impressed representative of this lower-mintage, conditionally rare New Orleans quarter. Population: 7 in 62, 8 finer. CAC: 1 in 62, 2 finer (10/16).
Ex: Milwaukee ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2007), lot 629; Scott Rudolph Collection (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 2303, which realized $4,456.25.
