Owner Comments:

I purchased this cleaned (unnatural color that is retoning around the obverse edge) and slightly damaged 1840-O Seated quarter in 2014 as an example of the Briggs 1-A die variety that shows the mint mark quite far to the left. Its remaining detail demonstrates how different from the "with drapery" version the "no drapery" version is on both sides of the coin. Photos courtesy of Stacks Bowers Galleries.
