Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5677 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 10:21 am It does look like it may be that variety based on the thickness of the mint mark. Here's some info from PCGS CoinFacts: The 1854-O Huge O Quarter Dollar is a very unusual variety, because the mintmark is large, misshapen, and unlike the O mintmark on any other coin from this year or from any other. For this reason, experts believe the mintmark was either re-worked or added by hand to a die that the Philadelphia Mint shipped to New Orleans minus a mintmark (the Philadelphia Mint supplied all the dies to the branch mints, and added the mintmarks before shipping out the dies). Walter Breen claimed to have discovered the 1854-O Huge O Quarter Dollar in 1954, exactly one hundred years after its issuance. According to the PCGS Population Report, the certified population of the 1854-O Huge O is roughly half that of the regular 1854-O Quarter Dollar, making it scarce but not rare.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 10:27 am Certainly has the look. I'd like to see full coin images of both sides. Looks like it might grade FR-02 but we need the pics to give a better opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Kevboe11 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 09/20/2020 11:45 am To tell you truth, the coin is terrible. The date is barely there, need some patience, a good eye and a loupe just for that. But considering even in poor condition, the coin might be worth a bit of money, is it worth going to get stabbed? Report this Post to the Staff
