<B>1839-O $2 1/2 --Reverse Planchet Flaw--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> High Date, Wide Fraction, Breen-6152, McCloskey-A, R.3. The 1839-O, in addition to its well known status as the first O-mint of the denomination, is the only Classic Head quarter eagle produced at the New Orleans facility and boasts a mintage of just 17,781 pieces. This lustrous example displays little actual wear and is actually quite attractive save for a grease stain or planchet streak that pierces the lower portion of the reverse. A bit of displaced metal is also noted beneath this defect. Still, the overall appeal of this popular Southern gold issue is better than the holder might suggest.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
