Description
1839-D Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-2, Winter 1-A. Rarity-4. AU-50 (NGC).
This pretty piece exhibits deep khaki-gold color overall with blended highlights of medium rose and steel-blue iridescence. The eye appeal is strong, and it benefits further from generally sharp striking detail that comes up short only around the high points of the eagle around the shield. Lustrous for the grade with no singularly mentionable marks, there is much to recommend this coin to discerning Southern gold collectors. The reverse die of the HM-2 variety has no berry in the branch and a weak stem that extends to the left upright of the letter D in the denomination. This is the slightly more available attribution of the issue. This later die state example is identifiable by clash marks from the horizontal shield lines within and around Liberty's ear.
PCGS# 7700. NGC ID: 25G5.
