1903-O 25C MS66 Certification #08545951, PCGS #5635

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Long respected as a better date, the 1903-O continues the parade of tough New Orleans quarters. We have had the good fortune to see all four PCGS MS66 examples (there are in fact four distinct coins so graded), as well as the one excellent PCGS MS67, and we still found this coin to be the preferred example in the group.
