Lot 1176
1839 $2.50 Classic Head. VF-35. A nice appearing coin for the grade. The devices are surrounded by a delicate brownish-gold color on both sides. Sharply impressed by the dies, with only light wear on the upper areas. The Guide Book notes that the last digit is not an overdate but was made by a "defective punch", sure looks like an overdate to us though. Whatever the truth, this is a lovely coin for the grade.
From Superior's Piedmont Sale, January 29, 1996, lot 2181.
