Liberty Quarter Eagles
1843-O $2 1/2 Large Date, Plain 4 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. The very scarce Guide Book variety with a large date and a clearly repunched mintmark. Well struck except for the BER in LIBERTY. The sun-gold surfaces are luminous and surprisingly unabraded, save for a minor obverse rim tick at 7 o'clock.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2012), lot 4634, which realized $1,955.
