1839-D Quarter Eagle, AU55
HM-2, Elusive Dahlonega Type

1839-D $2 1/2 HM-2, R.4, AU55 PCGS. CAC. Those building a Dahlonega type set require an 1839-D quarter eagle, since it is the sole Classic two and a half issue from the Georgian facility. A mintage of 13,674 pieces ensures its rarity. Two die marriages are known. HM-1 has a strong branch stem, while HM-2 has a small stem disconnected from the eagle. Both varieties are desirable, and always in demand from Southern gold specialists. This green-gold representative shows light wear on the middle letters in LIBERTY, but noticeable luster remains, and the only consequential contact are a few narrow ticks on the base of Liberty's neck.
