Lot 1236
1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded AU-55. Moderate handling marks from limited circulation and well preserved from this Southern Mint. Struck from cracked dies, as are most of this issue, with cracks through the 3 in the date, second star and ninth star towards the center. Similar on the reverse, with heavy breaks through the first 2 in the denomination, above the left wing and through the eagle's beak into the field above. Nicer than most, and ever popular for the obverse mintmark above the date. Well struck by the dies, and pleasing for what it is.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
