***Auction Highlight*** 1843-o Large Date Gold Liberty Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Graded Select Unc By USCG. The 1843-O quarter eagle, with the large numerals in the date, is much more elusive than its Small Date counterpart. It claims a low reported mintage of just 76,000 pieces. The issue is actually the second-rarest Liberty quarter eagle from the New Orleans Mint, although its rarity is largely unappreciated outside of series specialists. The surviving population numbers 75-85 examples in all grades, and Mint State specimens are very rare.The present coin is well-detailed in most areas, but some softness shows on the eagle's legs and claws. The pleasing yellow-gold surfaces show highlights of rose around the peripheries, with a few grade-consistent contact marks on both sides. The surfaces show vibrant mint luster mixed with proof like reflectivity in selected areas. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
