Lovely Uncirculated 1839-D Quarter Eagle

1839-D $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 1-B, R.4. The initial Dahlonega Mint Quarter Eagle, the 1839-D is also noteworthy as the only Classic Quarter Eagle issue from the famous southern branch mint, and thus the only date of the denomination with hand-punched design elements aside from the date and mintmark. Variety 1-B is scarcer than 1-A, and is noted for arrow heads firmly touching the final letters in AMERICA. The strike is quite sharp, and only the most demanding collector would observe that the first three vertical shield stripes do not have complete separation. The straw-gold surfaces are fully lustrous. Scattered tiny planchet flakes are strictly of mint origin, few distributed luster grazes define the grade. Population: 3 in 62, 4 finer (9/04).(#7700) (Registry values: P4)
