<Our item number 98990><B>1839-D $2.50 Classic Head. NGC graded MS-61.</B> Nicely toned. As far as D-mint quarter eagles go, the 1839-D is not a great rarity. It ranks 16th in overall rarity out of the 20 quarter eagles produced at this Southern coinage facility. All the same, it compares favorably to the 1844-D, both of which are more difficult to locate than the 1843-D, 1846-D, and 1847-D. The popularity of the '39-D stems from its status as the first quarter eagle produced at the Dahlonega Mint. It is also the only D-mint issue in the Classic quarter eagle series. An understandably important Mint State representative, both sides are tinged in deep orange-gold color with a suitably lustrous sheen and a warm golden halo around Liberty as well as the stars. The texture is frosty, the strike is crisp in most areas, and no grade-limiting abrasions detract from this coin's eye appeal. 13,674 coins minted. <B>Pop 8; 7 finer; 2 in 62; 3 in 63; 2 in 64.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $25,000-29,000. <BR>< BR>Our item number 98990<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098990.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098990N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
