<B>1839-O $2 1/2 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Low Date, Close Fraction, Breen-6153, McCloskey-B, R.4. The 1839 branch mint gold pieces from Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans are eternally popular as one-year subtypes, the only gold coins with obverse mintmarks, although they are often unrecognized (or uncollected) as such. This piece, like perhaps as much as 50% of the Close Fraction variants, is struck in perfect medal turn. Deep amber-gold coloration evenly covers the surfaces, which show considerable dusky luster under light field chatter characteristic of the issue and grade. Census: 18 in 62, 17 finer (12/07).<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>)
