<B>1839<$2 1/2> MS62 PCGS.</B></I> Breen-6148, R.3. The only dies. Recut 9 or 39/8, depending on one's point of view. A very scarce and underrated issue in the Classic series and a rarity at the Mint State level, every bit as difficult to locate as the higher priced C and D Mints of the Classic Head type. This is an exceptionally well struck example with a light coating of golden patina over each side. The underlying surfaces are particularly bright with a semi-reflective glimmer. Although fairly numerous, none of the contact marks are particularly unsightly. Currently, this is the finest example thus far certified by PCGS (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
