  I guess the person who owned it wasn't satisfied with the huge O variety(nobody probably knew it was anything special in its day). Although an 1851-O quarter is a tough date by itself, so I can see why an unscrupulous individual would scrape down the 4 in lieu of the key date.

  Similar note, I have seen a 1939-D NGC straight graded, doubled Monticello (added MM to a 39-P DDR)
