1843-O Seated Liberty Quarter (25c) Large O

New Orleans Mint Seated Liberty quarters from the 1840s are notable for their overall scarcity. The New Orleans Mint's production quality during this decade often resulted in coins with weak strikes and inconsistent mintmarks, which contributes to their desirability among collectors. Limited mintages and the harsh circulation environment of the Southern United States also contributed to fewer examples surviving in collectible condition.

This 1843-O Seated Liberty quarter, graded F12 by PCGS, shows honest wear consistent with its grade, yet retains key details such as the bold Large O mintmark. The surfaces are smooth with an attractive, even gray patina, and no major distractions. A solid representation of a scarcer New Orleans issue with historical significance.
