Lot 1349
1839-C $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned example. 18,140 pieces struck. A lustrous matte-like specimen with resilient underlying luster around and within some of the devices and light golden highlights. From center to periphery, the coin is generally well struck with no hint of weakness at the eagle's neck. Several die cracks noted on either side. The most dramatic extends from the lower reverse rim, just touching the left edge of the 2 in the denomination, up through the eagle and left shield corner through the beak. How this die kept striking coins is a mystery! A very attractive example of an historic Charlotte Mint issue. Pop 36; 88 finer; 72 in 58; 4 in 60; 9 in 61; 2 in 62; 1 in 63. (PCGS # 7699) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
