Description
1839-C Two and a Half, AU58
Scarce HM-3, 'Bandit Face' Variety
1839-C $2 1/2 HM-3, High R.4, AU58 NGC. A majority of 1839-C
quarter eagles are HM-1 with a prominently repunched date. HM-3 is
scarce. The variety is described as the "Bandit Face" by author
Daryl J. Haynor, due to the irregular strike-through on Liberty's
cheek. The dies clashed early and were lapped, removing the berry
from the eagle's branch. This is a Borderline Uncirculated example
with radiant sun-gold devices and semiprooflike fields. Close
inspection reveals infrequent minor marks, but the overall eye
appeal is impressive. Encapsulated in a circa-2000 holder.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25G4, Variety PCGS# 764874, Base PCGS# 7699, Greysheet# 226384)
