1839 $2 1/2

Description

NGC 1839/8 AU 58. A very scarce and underrated issue in the Classic series, the '39/8-P is almost as difficult to locate as the 1838-C and the 1839/8-D. It is usually only seen in lower grades and Choice AU pieces are infrequently seen. This piece is generally well struck with strong central details. There are a couple of smaller obverse abrasions and both sides are covered with a rich reddish patina that is most attractive.
