1839-D HM-2 Classic Quarter Eagle
Debut Dahlonega Issue, AU55

1839-D $2 1/2 HM-2, R.4, AU55 NGC. This is more often seen of just two die pairs for the 1839-D Classic Head quarter eagle. This issue boasts a limited mintage of 13,674 coins and represents the first quarter eagle coinage at the Dahlonega Mint. It is also a one-year type coin within the Dahlonega series. Examples are scarce in Mint State, although collectible in AU grades. The current piece displays light wear and has scattered abrasions as a result. However, major details remain strong, and the uniform wheat-gold patina is original. Census (all varieties included): 24 in 55, 37 finer (7/23).
