Lot 1235
1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded AU-58. Charlotte coined 18,140 during 1839. Most of those struck show extensive die cracks on both sides, as the dies broke early, but held together long enough to coin the number noted. This one is well struck on Liberty, but the stars lack their central points, On the reverse, a hint of luster remains in the lettering, and the eagle and surrounding letters are sharp enough, despite the die cracks through the denomination and around the eagle. NGC has only graded 32 this high, with 6 graded in various mint state grades. Popular for the obverse Mintmark above the date.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
