Description
1839-O HM-1 Quarter Eagle, MS63
Wide Fraction Variant
1839-O $2 1/2 HM-1, R.3, MS63 PCGS. Ex: HW Bass Jr Coll.
This is the Wide Fraction variety that has the fraction bar
separated from the numerator and the denominator on the reverse. It
is also known as the High Date variety with the date high above the
border. While this example is not one of the six finest in the
Condition Census, it is certainly close. In Classic Gold
Coins, Daryl J. Haynor records two MS65 examples and four MS64
coins as the finest known. His observations are consistent with
other population data. Hints of green appear on the brilliant
yellow-gold surfaces of this sharply detailed quarter eagle from
the first year of the denomination at New Orleans. This example
features full satin luster and excellent eye appeal. Population: 7
in 63, 4 finer (3/25).Ex: Lester Merkin (4/1970), lot 659; Harry W. Bass, Jr. (Bowers and Merena, 10/1999), lot 315.
