<Our item number 114159><B>1839-C &#36;2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded MS-61.</B> Mostly untoned. This coin is a lovely example of the Charlotte mint production. An orange-gold example, both sides are struck well for the variety with the usual qualifier that the stars are indistinct. There is no loss of detail over Liberty&#39;s hair curls nor is the shield weak, both of these being centers of focus for the critical eye of the buyer. The Mint-made defect on Liberty&#39;s cheek on the obverse is evident. Also, there is a small nick in the field by the chin, and a faint hairline outside of two stars on the right hand side. All are minor. As an aside, the 1839-C is perhaps the more readily obtainable C-mint quarter eagle of the 1830s but it is by no means common. The present lot offers the kind of quality and low census number that is sure to exert a pull on the bidders&#39; attention. Only 18,140 minted. <B>Pop 9; 3 finer, 2 in 62, 1 in 63</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 7699&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;30,000-32,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 114159<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114159.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114159N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
