- Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to present this FRESH, ORIGINAL, near-GEM 1847-O quarter eagle in our Regency Auction. This is the total opposite of what the "typical" 47-O $2.50 looks like. The first thing that catches you is the bold, frosty mint luster that blooms all over the surfaces on the obverse and reverse. The satin sheen turns to semi-reflective luster (depending on the angle) and brings out the awesome original skin. Olive gold patina that shows some deeper honey accents on the reverse legend adds to the SUPERB visual allure. All the details are crisply struck up with fully defined hair curls, star centers, and feathers on the eagle. The fields show microscopic traces of contact, mostly limited to the field above the eagle on the reverse, but there are no serious marks or lines of consequence. A strong glass reveals some mint made die clashes, die cracks at the rim, and a single die line on the reverse. Struck from variety 1-A, identified by the repunching of the 1 in the date and the centered placement of the O mintmark over the fraction bar. PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 1. Among the absolute FINEST KNOWN of the date, this coin will appeal to any collector of rare gold coins. Doug Winter estimates perhaps 15-20 survive in all Mint State grades, and his census shows just a single NGC MS65 as CC#1. This coin has not been in any recent sale, nor has it been offered by any dealer. NOTHING CLOSE TO THIS COIN HAS BEEN SOLD at auction in seven years! The auction record for the date is for the Harry Bass coin, sold in May 1998 as a PCGS MS62 (lot 1153) at $16,500 (since upgraded to NGC MS64) and is impounded in a private collection. This is a truly once in a GENERATION opportunity, do not let it pass you by! Cert. Number 84296945 PCGS # 7747
