<B>1839 $2 1/2 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> The 1839 quarter eagle is much rarer than perceived (Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2006), as can be seen from the relatively small number of high-end AU and Mint State pieces certified by PCGS and NGC (about 30 specimens). The rich apricot-gold surfaces of this AU58 example displays partially prooflike fields, and has benefited from a sharp strike. A handful of minuscule reverse marks are not bothersome. Population: 5 in 58, 3 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Leo Beranek Collection of Early Federal Coinage.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Kneass<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
