Description

1839-D Two and a Half, HM-2, MS62
Scarce Dahlonega Type Coin

1839-D $2 1/2 HM-2, R.4, MS62 PCGS. HM-2 is the more frequently seen of the two varieties, and is most easily attributed by the "floating" branch stem northwest of the D in 2 1/2 D. Of the 13,674 pieces struck, there are approximately 225 survivors, for both die pairs combined. PCGS and NGC combined have certified only about 30 Mint State examples, some of which are undoubtedly resubmissions. This caramel-gold representative displays ample luster throughout the borders and devices. Marks are minimal save for a hair-thin line near star 12. A mint-made strike-through on the E in UNITED provides an identifier. The strike is generally good, and the overall eye appeal is impressive. The sole Dahlonega issue of the Classic quarter eagle design. Population: 8 in 62 (1 in 62+), 4 finer (7/22).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2006), lot 2596.
