Introducción de monedas
Jeff Garrett:With a mintage sharply higher than that of the previous year, the 1851-O Liberty Head quarter eagle is relatively available in grades short of Mint State. However, the date is quite rare in full Mint State, and examples are seldom offered. The only exception in recent decades was the sale of the Harry W. Bass Jr. Collection. His holdings constituted a small hoard, with 10 coins being offered over two years. These were promptly absorbed into the market and have rarely surfaced since. The 1851-O issue is often seen with a sharply doubled date, including all four digits. These coins are among the most dramatic examples of repunching for the era. The strike for the date is average; some coins have weakness on the wing tips and centers.Leer más
