Our favorite New Orleans $2.5 Date. The Single Rarest New Orleans Quarter Eagle. Widely known as the most elusive O Mint $2.5 even rarer than most Charlotte and Dahlonega $2.5, Paradime Coins is pleased to offer yet another spectacular high grade original example for this near impossible issue. No official mintage in the Mint Report exists for this 1845-O $2.5 with the date only known until an announcement in the December 1894 Numismatist. We placed another au53 pcgs last year and this example which is housed in an older holder certified between 1998-2002, has tremendous detail for the grade. Firstly we believe in todays grading standard this would be a AU55. There is no distracting marks or hit, only slight honest wear on the high points. Another character adding feature is that all 1845-O $2.5 have a mint-made depression on the reverse between the eagles neck and F in OF as a foreign object entered the press during the striking process, as well as a repunched date on the numeral 1. As such this coin has a lot going on for it, it is the Single Rarest New Orleans $2.5, it has the smallest mintage for a New Orleans and almost all other C and D mint issues at only 4,000, the number of survivors in all grades amount to only 75, and the surface is surprisingly mark free and very attractive for the grade with no sale in either AU53 or AU55 PCGS for over a decade, except a CAC AU55 that sold two years ago for $19,200 and privately an au53, a less choice example, which we sold last year for the same price.
