Pricing Comments:Liberty Seated quarters are probably the most under valued seated coinage denomination. The full date and mintmark set is extremely difficult to complete due to length and individual date rarities. Weak strikes are also an ongoing issue for many dates including weak head and breast details and incomplete definition of reverse feathers. You will find competitive retail asking prices for nice original and problem free coins. Quarters with small issues will be discounted accordingly.

Rotated Reverses:Reverse images are best effort to capture the actual reverse rotation with respect to obverse position. If a rotated reverse is seen in the images, then this is how the quarter appeared during photography and the descriptions may not include specific comments as to the observation.

Photo	Date	Grade	TPG	Variety	GFRC Rating	Price	Description	Buy
	1840 Drapery	EF40	PCGS 80668428		Choice	HOLD $695	Surprisingly Tough to Find with CAC. The 1840 with drapery quarter is difficult to find nice with just 24 examples endorsed by CAC which compares to a number of the more recognized scarcer dates. Strictly original with light grey surfaces. There are some small scattered marks on the obverse that are well toned over. This coin was traded for another coin at Batlimore and is now available to our Seated quarter collectors looking to add this difficult piece.
	1840-O No Drapery	AU58	PCGS 51114664		Original	$1495	Well Struck and Original. Popular AU 58 grade. As the only mintmarked No Drapery quarter, the 1840-O No Drapery quarter is very popular. This one is well struck and original. We would assign a choice quality rating to the reverse but there are some obverse lines and a number of darker patches on Miss Liberty.
	1841-O DDO	AU58	PCGS 49616419	Briggs 2-C	Original	$1700	New September 14! Doubled Die Obverse that is a Top 25 Variety.. Ex. Hoosier AU58 Collection. This is a Top 25 variety with a Doubled Die Obverse. The doubled die is clearly seen on the outline of the shield. The strike is above average for the issue. Scattered lines can be seen on the obverse fields. The muted luster amd splotchy toning likely places the origin of this coin from the New Orleans hoard of over 200 1841-O quarters discovered in 1982.
	1842	EF45	PCGS 46048439		Original	$725	New August 18! Lustrous and Well Struck. Ex. Humphreys Collection. This mostly white coin has excellent luster over well struck semi-prooflike surfaces. Scattered marks and lines cover both sies which probably caused PCGS to net grade this AU coin to an XF45.
	1843-O Large O	F15	PCGS 29806057	Briggs 3-F	Choice	$1500	Large O, Choice Original, Scarce Die Variety, Crusty Gray Patina, Accurately Graded. Listed separately by Briggs as 3-F and the lone 1843 reverse die with a Large O mintmark. Later captured by the Cherrypickers Guide and listed as FS-501. Always found in lower circulated grades with the finest PCGS holdered being an AU53 example. This Fine 15 example is noteworthy for its strict originality and choice surfaces. Crusty gray patina covers both sides. CAC approval is absolutely warranted due to originality and accurate grading. Overall, an essentially unimprovable example for the collector wishing to fill the #5 spot, in a Top 25 Varieties set. Housed in a PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. The PCGS label reads, "Large O FS-501 (FS-001.5)".
	1843-O Large O	AU58	PCGS 43133195	Briggs 3-F	Choice	$9500	New September 14! Likely Second Finest of this Top 25 Variety. Fully Struck and Brilliant White.. Ex. Hoosier AU58 Collection. This AU58 example is likely the second finest known of this variety behind the Eliasberg MS64 example that sold for $25,850 in 2013. Brilliant white, the strike is absolutely pounded. The obverse surfaces indicate it was struck from an eroded die. Scattered obverse marks can be seen. The price guides are way off on this date as the prices realized for all AU coins are multiples of the price guide values. Greg Johnson wrote an E-Gobrecht article about the 1843-O Large O quarters that can be found at www.seateddimevarieties.com.
	1843-O	EF45	PCGS 29947980		Choice	$1200	New September 14! Well Struck, Original.. Well struck with good originality. There is a layer of dirt on the surfaces on both sides. The obverse has too many marks to warrant a CAC endorsement with a thin scratch on the left obverse field emanating from star 1 being the most obvious.
	1844	MS62	CACG 974283076		Choice	$2250	New September 14! Nicely Struck, Original Surfaces.. Strictly original medium grey surfaces are nicely struck. There are some obverse marks that warrant the MS62 grade. The reverse is nicer and grades MS63.
	1847	AU55	CACG 82896440		Choice	$975	Attractive Patches of Color on Obverse. Attractive patches of blue, magenta, and orange toning adds to the eye appeal of this original coin. The rims on both sides are nicely struck, but the centers are more weakly struck. On the reverse, the left facing wing, shield and the arrow nock are weakly struck. Some marks and handling lines can be seen, but none are overly distracting. In a CACG Witter Brick holder.
	1847 RPD & DDR	AU55	PCGS 29387449	FS-801	Choice	$800	New October 1! Original Grey, Cool Variety. Frosty grey surfaces are surrounded by golden highlights at the rims. Very well struck with only light wear. A cool variety with the repunched date and doubling on the reverse easy to see with the naked eye.
	1847-O	VF30	PCGS 50571189		Choice	HOLD $950	Better O-mint Quarter. Original Medium Grey. Just 34 coins endorsed by CAC in all grades. This is an original medium grey better date O-mint quarter. Some thin scratches are seen on the obverse right field, to the left of star 7, and above the Phrygian Cap. There is also a rim ding near star 11. The reverse surfaces are decently smooth with dirt embedded withn the eagle and on the first S in STATES. There is an interesting die crack on the reverse at ES OF.
	1847-O	AU50	PCGS 33424166	Briggs 2-C	Original	$1935	Rare Grade, Bold Strike, Steely Surfaces, Golden Patina, Lasalle Collection. 2025 Black Friday Sale Offering - The 1847 New Orleans issue is scarce in all grades and becomes quite rare in AU. This date is notorious for flatly struck stars and the top of Liberty's head according to Briggs. The LaSalle Collection has released an AU50 example which is one of only six certified by PCGS at grade. Steely obverse reflectance is readily apparent under a bright light with golden hues being predominant. Golden-gray toning is noted on the reverse with a bit softer luster. Of importance is the bold strike with all star center points clearly defined along with a fully detailed head. The reverse is equally well struck. Briggs 2-C discovered by Larry Briggs May 1987 and remaining as a very rare die pairing. Astute Seated collectors should be paying close attention to this offering. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1849	MS64	PCGS 3456067		Choice	$6500	New September 14! Excellent Luster, Well Struck, Original.. Beautiful original luster on this well struck mostly white coin. The obverse is a high end MS64 while the reverse Is an MS64 due to some marks in the field to the left of the eagle's beak. In a PCGS Gen. 4.0 (1998-2002) holder.
	1849	AU55	PCGS 46214290		Original	$600	New August 15! Well Struck Original Coin. Ex. Humphreys Collection. Well struck original coin with one scratch on the right obverse field.
	1849-O	EF40	PCGS 47987545		Choice	$8950	New September 14! Key Date, Low Mintage of Just 16,000, Excellent Eye Appeal.. The mintage of 1849-O quarters is unknown, but purported to be just 16,000. Regardless, there is no question this is the rarest New Orleans Seated quarter. Unusually attractive for this date with bold blue rims and magenta toning in the centers. Some handling lines and marks can be seen on both sides, but none are notable. We have not seen a more appealing 1849-O quarter without a CAC endorsement. There are 9 XF40 coins graded by PCGS with 19 higher.
	1850-O	MS63	PCGS 14526833		Choice	$6500	New September 14! Well Struck Coin, Better Date.. 1850-O quarters are difficult to find in Uncirculated condition with a CAC endorsement. There are two CAC coins in MS63 with just 6 higher which likely includes some resubmissions. This coin is well struck with lovely bluish color on the rims and magenta centers most prominent on the reverse. There are some marks on the right obverse field that define the grade. Housed in a PCGS Gen. 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1851-O	VF20	PCGS 19175171		Choice	$1800	New September 14! Just 23 Endorsed by CAC at Any Grade. Original and Nicely Struck.. Ex. New Orleans Collection. 1851-O quarters are known to be poorly struck, but this coin is a happy exception. There are only 23 examples endorsed by CAC at any grade. Original light grey surfaces show even wear. Attesting to the originality, embedded dirt can be seen around all the devices. Some abrasions and marks can be seen on both sides.
	1852	MS62	PCGS 44924563		Choice	$5000	New September 14! Well Struck on Strictly Original Surfaces.. With the decrease in silver content on coins in 1853, older coins were removed from circulation and melted which impacted 1850-1852 dated coins the most. There are 28 coins endorsed by CAC in all grades with 2 in MS62 and 9 higher. This is a well struck strictly original example. From an arm's length, this looks like coin that should grade higher. Small horizontal handling lines on the right obverse field and a mark on Miss Liberty's right facing arm makes MS62 an appropriate grade.
	1854-O Huge O	VF20	PCGS 35432532		Choice	$1995	Attractive Color. Original Surfaces. It is unusual to see 1854-O Huge O quarters have this much originality and attractive color. The obverse is quite smooth with just small marks to the left of star 12 and below star 13. As with most of the Huge O coins, there is an interesting die break beneath the mintmark which causes the R in QUAR to be incomplete and the left side to be somewhat weakly struck. Above average for the issue.
	1855-S Arrows	AU58	PCGS 90058886	Briggs 1-C	Choice	$5000	New September 14! Difficult to Find in AU58. Ex. Hoosier AU58 Collection. There are only four PCGS AU58 examples graded. This date is well known for having no examples in XF or AU endorsed by CAC. Lustrous surfaces on light grey surfaces. The obverse is well struck while the reverse shows some weakness on the eagle's left leg. Some marks can be seen in the field to the left of Miss Liberty's mouth and left facing arm. In a PCGS Gen. 4.1 (2002-2004) holder.
