Description

1839-C $2 1/2 AU50 NGC. Breen-6150, McCloskey-C, Variety 2, R.4. The 39 in the date is repunched. This is the scarcest variety for the year, and Winter (2008) estimates that only 4,860 pieces were struck. Pleasing olive-gold patina covers both sides. The stars and the top left corner of the shield are a trifle soft, as often seen. There are no marks of any significance. An outstanding example.
From The Mulkin Collection.(Registry values: P5)
