"Perfect" obverse - an early strike without the bisecting obverse crack, with full radial lines on the stars, and strong leaf/berry stems on the reverse. It also shows doubling of the legend "D STATES OF" and the left wingtip, which is also seen on PCGS MS64 SN 46092970, although not mentioned in books relevant to the date. Fields are somewhat proof-like. The reverse is rotated 10-15 degrees clock-wise from the normal position.

Single variety HM-1, Obverse 1, Reverse H PCGS/NGC graded population 606, including resubmissions. Haynor estimates a total population in all grades of about 450 and only 7 graded MS65 and higher, while PCGS CoinFacts estimates a survival of 400 with 9 graded MS65 or higher. The TE in UNITED appears to have been re-punched to the left. There are two small triangular remnants of the T between the top of the T and the E and there is a small triangular remnant of the E at the top leg of the E in UNITED. Also, the first A in AMERICA has a wide lower left leg and narrow upper leg between the cross bar and top, the M in AMERICA has a "toe" on the inside right serif, and the dentils above the M are very short. I have seen these peculiarities on all of the coins I've looked at in photos. Just interesting observations.

HM-1, R-4. The 8 and 9 in the date are noticeably re-punched. This coin does not show any clash marks which may indicate that this coin is from the April 1839 production run. As stated by Daryl Haynor in his book "United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839", "The 1839 is by far the rarest Philadelphia Classic Gold quarter eagle, neck and neck with the 1838-C for overall supremacy. Garret and Guth, in their "Encyclopedia Of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" suggest, "The 1839 quarter eagle is the sleeper rarity of the series. Although the mintage of this date is more than three times as high as that of the 1838-C issue, there have been fewer 1839 examples graded than any of other date... the raw numbers are an indication that this date is much rarer than is generally perceived." David Aker's Auction Analysis of Quarter Eagles (1975) also maintains the rarity by stating, "This is certainly one of the most underrated quarter eagles of this type. The auction records clearly indicate that the 1839/8 is nearly as rare as the lower mintage 1838-C or 1839/8-D." His average grade for the date is VF-37.

Haynor/McCloskey variety HM-1, R3+, Winters variety 2 (3-B) Obverse - Recut 39 in the date. Die cracks are evident from star 2, star 9 and the 3 in the date, and all converge toward the center. Reverse - Die cracks appear at the left facing wing tip, under the A in STATES, and through the 2 in the denomination.
Borckardt variety 28, Winter variety 2-B. This is the scarcer of the two varieties known (1/3 of population per Borckardt). Obverse - Low date, 9 closer to rim than curl, 3 and 9 show signs of re-punching, mint mark is left of center of 3. Many of the stars show signs of having been re-cut. Reverse - Medalic alignment, 1 and 2 touch fraction bar, berry is present but disconnected from branch, misshapen arrow heads. Later die state showing die crack running from rim at N in UNITED to rim at R in AMERICA. Also a light die crack is seen at right wing tip to the back of the eagle's head. Some of the vertical shield lines extend up into the horizontal lines, they also extend below the shield into the arrow fletching. The coin is very bright (signs of conservation / dipping) with luster limited to the protected areas (stars and legend). Very hard to photograph. The photos, both mine and PCGS's, don't do the coin justice.
