Lot Title:
|
Two Seated Liberty Quarters. VF-25.
|
|
Description:
|
An early pair of New Orleans Branch Mint issues. The 1840-O No Drapery variety is, along with the dates 1838 and 1839, noticeably unlike those of 1840 With Drapery, and subsequent dates, because the denticles at the boarders are smaller and are amalgamated into the rims. Mottled russet and blue tones blanket its light pewter surfaces. An attempt to unprofessionally remove a toned spot is seen in the right obverse field. The 1840-O "Small O" With Drapery variety has less than 1/8th the mintage (43,000 verses 382,200) of the No Drapery variety. Its dark gray -brown surfaces show no obtrusive marks or blemishes.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
