<B>1847-O $2 1/2 MS60 NGC.</B></I> Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) contend that the 1847-O quarter eagle is one of the most poorly struck issues from the New Orleans Mint, and is almost always very soft in the central obverse and reverse. The Mint State coin in this lot does reveal minor softness in portions of Liberty's hair and the eagle's leg feathers, but the design elements generally display good overall delineation. Bright yellow-gold surfaces exhibit greenish tints, and harbor a few minor handling marks. While only moderately scarce in circulated grades, the 1847-O is rare in Mint State.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
