1852-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-Unlisted. AU-58 (NGC).Sharply defined overall, especially on the obverse, this pleasing near-Mint example is warmly and evenly patinated in deep honey-gold. Scarce in this grade, as most survivors of this early New Orleans Mint quarter eagle issue are well worn. Struck from a die pairing of the 1852-O that is not listed in Doug Winters 2018 reference on New Orleans Mint gold coinage, the reverse is the same that the author describes for all known 1851-O two-and-a-halves.
