***Auction Highlight*** 1846-o Gold Liberty Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 Graded Select+ Unc By USCG. The mintage of 62,000 pieces for the 1846-O quarter eagle belies its true scarcity. Only 150 to 175 examples are known today in all grades, of which a mere nine to 12 are Mint State. The finest known is an MS66 from the Pittman Collection. The bright yellow-gold surfaces of this magnificent choice example display resplendent mint luster, along with a hint of semi proof likeness in the fields. The strike is notably soft in the central areas of each side, a characteristic of nearly all 1846-O quarter eagles. A few light marks are insignificant. This is a noteworthy attribute because the 1846-O is among the most difficult quarter eagles to locate with clean surfaces. Tied for 3rd Finest Known! 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
