Lot 703
1852-O Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. AU-55. Steel and smoky gray in color with a golden patch through Liberty. Although 96,000 were reported coined, many of these were melted as they were worth more than face value at the time they were issued. In particular, we note that a few stars are sharp, but most are flat at the centers, but Liberty is well struck from head to toe. The eagle's claws are bold, as are the wing feathers. Minor hairlines and surface marks in the fields. A date that is very difficult to locate in high grades, and this one is certain to attract the attention of date collectors.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,700.
From Stack's R.L. Miles Collection Sale, April 1969, with flip included if you ask for it at lot pick up.
