Lot 2119
1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. PCGS graded AU-55. Frosty matte surface. Vivid and lustrous reddish yellow gold with an even distribution of the color on the devices and throughout the protected regions. From the second year of Charlotte Mint coinage operations, this is also the last of just two years in which the mintmark is on the obverse; the mintmark position was transferred to the reverse below the denomination in 1840 and following, with the advent of the Liberty coronet head by Gobrecht. This attractive About Uncirculated 55 coin has aesthetic appeal far beyond average, and we expect bidding activity will take advantage of the fact. Pop 23; 9 finer; 6 in 58; 1 in 61; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 7699) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
