Description
1839-C Quarter Eagle, MS62
Second on the Condition Census
Rare HM-2 Variety
1839-C $2 1/2 HM-2, R.6, MS62 NGC. The rare HM-2 die
marriage features the C mintmark over the 3 in the date and the
stem of the branch over the upright of the D. The 1839-C is the
fourth rarest issue in the entire Classic Head quarter eagle
series. Only 18,140 pieces were struck, and a scant 325 coins are
thought to survive. Among them are about 15 Mint State examples,
only one of which is finer than this MS62. Daryl Haynor suggests
that this die marriages makes up about 7% of the surviving
population, or roughly 25 coins.This Condition Census rarity is well-struck at the centers, while the stars are flat, as always. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit partially reflective fields, resulting in the slightest suggestion of cameo contrast. Scattered ticks and hairlines define the grade, while various planchet and die defects are common to all examples from this die pair. They have no bearing on the assessment or eye appeal. Census: 3 in 62, 1 finer (6/21).
