硬幣介紹
Jeff Garrett:The year 1857 marked the last year for the production of Liberty Head quarter eagle at the New Orleans Mint. The mintage was a modest 34,000 coins and most encountered heavy circulation. The collecting of coins by mintmark was virtually unknown at the time, and it is a miracle that any survived at all in Mint State. The 1857-O quarter eagle is scarce in About Uncirculated levels and quite rare in full Mint State condition. The finest pieces graded to date are limited to just a couple at the MS 64 level. The issue is usually seen well struck, and a few representatives are deeply prooflike. It is reported that a quantity of the date was found among the gold coins in the Jackson, Tennessee hoard. Many of the coins from that group were mishandled, and the quality of pieces is unknown. One of the MS 64 coins sold for $19,550 in 2007.閱讀更多
