Description

Near-Mint 1839-C Two and a Half

1839-C $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Recut 39, Winter 3-C, McCloskey-C, Breen-6150, R.3. Formerly thought to be an overdate, the final digits have now been proven to be recut instead. Two obverse dies were used for this issue and only one reverse die was employed. The reverse die was the same one used on the 1838-C, thus it has more extensive die cracking. The surfaces are bright green-gold with a faint overlay of reddish patina. Slightly soft on the high points on the obverse, the reverse is better detailed. Only tiny handling marks are seen on each side, none of which merit individual mention. (Registry values: P5)
