Description
1852-O Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
An attractive Mint State example with rich luster and aa generally sharp strike. Pale golden-wheat shades dominate with pale olive undertones evident at certain viewing angles. The radiant surfaces show only the slightest ticks from bag storage under scrutiny and remain otherwise well composed. This is undoubtedly one of the finest known survivors, especially at the BU grade level. Though from a relatively high mintage of 140,000 pieces, this issue can be difficult to find in high grade. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth note that "The mintage for this issue is much higher than that of the Dahlonega and Charlotte mint issues, but in Mint State, the coins are of similar rarity." Doug Winter (2023) notes that there are fewer than 20 distinct examples in Mint State.
PCGS# 7766. NGC ID: 25HU.
PCGS Population: 12; 8 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 7; 2.
