Description
1839-C Quarter Eagle, XF Details
Rare HM-2 Variety
1839-C $2 1/2 HM-2, R.6 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. The
berry is prominent on this example of the HM-2 dies, although
detached from its stem. A bold die crack between the eagle's right
(facing) wing and neck suggests a late die state for the reverse
die, which soon failed. This variety accounts for about 7% of the
extant 1839-C quarter eagles, and represents one of about 25
survivors struck with this short-lived reverse die.
Moderate-to-heavy weakness at the central reverse is a combination
of die state and wear. The obverse is sharper, with a relevant
scratch between star 4 and the nose.From The John W. McCloskey Collection.
