<B>1839-C $2 1/2 MS62 ICG.</B></I> McCloskey-B, Breen-6149, R.4. The mintmark is over the left half of the 3 in the date, and the branch stem tip is over the left edge of the D in the denomination. This piece combines its natural green-gold alloy with an overlay of reddish patina. The devices are well defined in the centers, with characteristic bluntness only on a few of the obverse stars. There is a large shallow planchet lamination (as struck) on the cheek. High grade (pieces grading AU or better) examples of this popular Charlotte issue are generally available for a price, but the appearance of an MS62 1839-C is most unusual. Douglas Winter (1998) contends that only five Mint State pieces are known.<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>\)
