1847-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (NGC).Even golden-yellow patina with faint remnants of a satin to semi-prooflike finish shining forth as the coin dips into a light. While not as rare as the 1846-O or 1850-O, the 1847-O still numbers among the scarcer New Orleans Mint quarter eagles of its era. Survivors from a limited mintage of 124,000 pieces typically grade no finer than EF, confirming the added significance of this pleasing Choice AU.From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio.
