Scarce New Orleans Date, Copper-Gold, Choice Surfaces, Osprey Collection. This scarce 1850 New Orleans struck quarter eagle is evenly worn but thoroughly wholesome at its certified grade. Infrequently does GFRC have the opportunity to handle such a well preserved lower circulated grade example. Thanks to the Osprey Collection, the community has a shot at this fairly graded example that exhibits light copper-gold shades that accented by peripheral orange-rose hues. Surfaces are pristine which is quite remarkable given the time in circulation. Lower reverse "dirt" within the eagle's claw and denomination validate the strict originality. When was the last time you could purchase an early gold piece with a mintage of 84,000 for less than $500? I've got to go with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for the overall value. Housed in new large font NGC holder. December 1969
