billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 4:05 pm The 1857-O quarter eagles were the last $2.50 gold coins that were struck at the New Orleans Mint. It's neither rare nor common, but this coin does have a pedigree. So what do you think it grades? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 5:40 pm Oh boy. I seem to see some parallel lines on the obverse indicating "thumbing", so it might come in as low as AU-58. Otherwise, perhaps a 62 or 63 at best, but I am way out of my league here.

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 5:51 pm The luster on the obverse looks too impaired from the pictures to be an AU-58. AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 5:59 pm That the fields appear too disturbed for an MS grade. My best guess is AU55. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 8:07 pm I could see this being a slider au58/63 gold is always interesting to grade. Nice coin nonetheless. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 8:21 pm Beautiful coin, well struck, with enough friction in the fields to rule out an MS grade. I'd call it AU-58 and choice for the grade. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 12:30 pm My first impression was AU-53 but after a second look I think I can agree with 55. Definitely not mint state. Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 09:06 am PCGS graded this 1857-O $2.50 as an AU-58. The coin came from the Brand Collection. Report this Post to the Staff
