Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1851-O Quarter is a somewhat scarce issue, with a mintage of only 88,000 coins. In 1991, Larry Briggs identified two different die varieties that comprise the entire issue for this year; the two varieties share the same obverse. The reverses differ primarily by the position of the mintmark.

In Mint State, the 1851-O is a true condition-rarity with only a few Uncirculated examples available to collectors. The finest example is the PCGS MS64 that was once part of the Eugene H. Gardner collection.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
