Lot 1760
1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded AU-55. The 3 and 9 in the date are boldly recut. This issue along with the 1838-C is in demand from type collectors because of the obverse C mintmark. This handsome piece shows a late die state: there are spindly die breaks almost everywhere you look. The strike is relatively sharp, and there are no obtrusive abrasions. Considerable mint luster clings to the surfaces. A small contact mark on the chin near the neck of Liberty will pedigree this example. 18,140 coins minted. Pop 34; 74 finer.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
