    Description

    According to Doug Winter on PCGS CoinFacts, “The 1845-O is the rarest New Orleans quarter eagle. It is as rare — or even rarer — than all but a handful of the Charlotte and Dahlonega quarter Eagles of this era...it is usually seen in grades ranging from VF25 to EF40. It is very scarce in EF45 and rare in the lower AU range. An attractive, accurately graded AU55 1845-O quarter eagle is a rare and undervalued coin.”
    The present coin is just back from grading, and it displays an unusually sharp strike for the issue, with plenty of luster, as you would expect from an AU55. Its mintage of just 4,000 pieces still doesn’t do justice to this date for how truly difficult it is to obtain in any grade.
    As always, the coin you see here is the exact coin that you will receive.
