Lot 724
1852-O Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. AU-55. The surfaces of this coin have been altered in some way, with resulting roughness in the metal. Inspection mandatory by prospective buyers. Nevertheless, this is an extremely rare coin in high grade, as virtually all were melted during the gold rush years where silver became worth enough more than face value to make melting coins profitable. Hence most were lost in the melting pots, and few exist to fill those date collector sets. Retoned a pleasant gold color on the lower obverse, the reverse more natural in appearance. A very rare date indeed.
