1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. PCGS graded AU-55. Lovely rich golden toning. A die break from the rim through star 2 into the hair. A bright and gleaming gold quarter eagle whose ample luster seems destined to give pleasure to anyone possessing it; plus we find a touch of faint champagne toning adding to the allure. Demonstrably well struck with nearly full details on both sides, the hair curls are complete, the date and mintmark sharp. As in most 1839 quarter eagles, there is clear recutting at the date. Definitely earns points where beauty is concerned.Pop 24; 9 finer; 6 in 58; 1 in 61; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 7699) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
