1839-C $2 1/2

Description

PCGS 1839-C AU 50. Repunched 39. The repunched date and the overdate are of approximately equal rarity with an estimated 7,400 pieces struck of the repunched variety out of a total mintage of 18,140 coins. The repunching is quite pronounced, as are the several die cracks on the reverse. This piece shows atypically strong central details but the peripheral stars are weak, as usual. Rather than the peculiar greenish-yellow color usually seen on this issue, this piece has a distinctive accent of rich reddish-gold color and the coin is unusually bright. There are the usual small surface flaws, but the only one of singular importance is a long area of planchet flaking on the reverse from the eagle's left wing through the RI in AMERICA.
