1850-O Liberty NGC AU55. In their "Encyclopedia of US Gold Coins" authors Garrett and Guth say this about 1850-O Quarter Eagles: " . . . . . the most interesting feature of this issue is the extremely poor quality of the strike on most known examples. The date is scarce in all grades and only a few are offered for sale most years. This date is VERY RARE in full mint state . . . . . . " In light of the Garrett and Guth comments, the present example shows strong detail, even light wear consistent with its assigned grade, and has excellent original color. Be sure to inspect this one if you have any interest in truly scarce coins. (Image)
