oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 11:47 am I am looking at this 1840-O Quarter and wanted to know what the CCF thinks that PCGS gave it. Doesn't the date look small in comparison to the later years? I could get a better grade coin, but I have a weakness for the branch mints. Thanks as always!

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 2:57 pm Date is normal for this piece. It appears to be softly struck and could go as high as XF40. I'd like it better as a strong VF30 or maybe VF35. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/08/2012 09:48 am I feel that this is a good representation of the first Quarters struck in the New Orleans mint. not as nice as Gyrene7483 https://goccf.com/t/125361 Edited by oih82w8 08/08/2012 11:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 08:18 am Hard to believe that only 425,200 were struck, which may have been the norm back in the day. The 1 million coins produced in a year was not achieved until the "Arrows and Rays" variety was coined in 1853 (15,210,020 for Philadelphia and 1,332,000 for New Orleans). (The first issues of this year lack drapery at Liberty's left elbow. They are much more common than the later issues of this year where the drapery was added.)http://www.coinfacts.com/quarter_do...dollars.html Edited by oih82w8 08/09/2012 08:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
