1839-O Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-1, Winter-1. Rarity-3. High

1839-O Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-1, Winter-1. Rarity-3. High Date, Wide Fraction. AU Details--Scratch (PCGS). The 1839-O is a numismatically significant issue with tremendous appeal for advanced gold enthusiasts. It is the first New Orleans Mint quarter eagle, the only one of the Classic Head design type, and the only one that displays the O mintmark on the obverse. The mintage is limited at 17,781 pieces, although its first year status explains an above average rate of survival for a Southern gold issue from the pre-Civil War era. Even so, examples are scarce relative to demand from advanced Southern gold collectors, and this more affordable offering at the certified AU level will catch the eye of many bidders. PCGS# 7701.
