Lot 1228
1839. Large letters, head of 1838. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck and untoned with both sides displaying full luster. This is an important two year type coin, with the dramatic and elegant swept back hair over Liberty's ear and a enhanced curvature to her truncation. These features were both modified midway through 1839, and that style continued through 1907. This is one of the finer examples to come down to us, and despite scattered nicks from bag handling offers good visual appeal. Only 25,801 struck. Pop 6; 5 finer, 3 in 62, 1 in 63, 1 in 64. Estimate Value $19,000 - 20,000
