<B>1851-O $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Breen-6214. Doubled Date. The date was first entered out of position, with remnants of a 51 below and left of the final position. While a common coin by O-mint standards, the 1851-O is an elusive issue in mint condition. In fact, this appears to be the second finest coin known with only one piece certified higher, an NGC MS65. It is the finest certified by PCGS, and the only one at this grade level (4/07). The surfaces display the bright, satiny mint luster one would expect of an O-mint quarter eagle from this period--the obverse is brighter yellow-gold in color and the reverse is more subdued green-gold. The design details display the usual softness that is inherent to this issue with weak definition, especially on the eagle. The peripheral details, though, are surprisingly strong. There are no mentionable surface defects on either side of this exceptional Condition Census quarter eagle.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
