Seated Quarters
1854-O 25C Huge O, Briggs 1-A, FS-501, VF20 PCGS. This is a deeply patinated and original VF example with bold gunmetal-gray and army-green hues blending in the fields to create a stark circulation-cameo appearance with the lighter relief elements. The devices are well-detailed for the grade, and there are no surface problems. The unusually large O mintmark is believed to have been engraved by hand, possibly on a die that arrived from Philadelphia without a mintmark or that had a damaged mintmark. Population: 6 in 20, 38 finer (11/16).
