Liberty Quarter Eagles
1843-O $2 1/2 Large Date, Plain 4 MS60 NGC. CAC. Variety 1. The 1843-O Large Date quarter eagles all have the Plain 4 style that continued into the later 1840s, rather than the Small Date, Crosslet 4 style of the 1840 through early-1843 issues (produced only in Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans). The 1843-O Large Date is much rarer than the Small Date variant, the converse of the situation for the Charlotte pieces of the same variety. This is a bright, well-struck example that shows semireflective fields on each side. Seldom located in Mint condition. Census: 2 in 60, 15 finer. CAC: 1 in 60, 12 finer (10/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 2461.
