- 1856-O Liberty Quarter Eagle. Winter Variety Two. MS-61 (NGC). This is a Condition Census grade for this, the rarest New Orleans Mint Quarter Eagle struck during the 1850s. The 1856-O has a mintage of just 21,100 pieces, and it is the fifth-rarest of 14 issues in the New Orleans Mint Two-and-a-Half series. It vies with the 1843-O Large Date for the #3 ranking in high-grade rarity, trailing only the 1842-O and 1845-O in that category.<br /> Satiny and quite vibrant in the luster category, this coin also has an uncommonly smooth "look" given the BU assessment from NGC. Wispy handling marks and slight glossiness to the surfaces are noted, but the overall eye appeal is nothing short of strong. Both sides are sharply struck with handsome medium-orange color. A small, shallow depression in the reverse field below the eagle's beak appears to be an as-struck planchet void.
