详细说明: 1839-D Classic Head Quarter Eagle. McCloskey-1. AU-53 (NGC). The 1839-D quarter eagle is an historic and challenging early gold issue. This is a boldly to sharply defined example toned in a warm blend of deep olive and orange-gold patina. 1839 was the first year of coinage for the denomination at the Dahlonega Mint, the final year of quarter eagle coinage of the design type, and the second of just two years with an obverse mintmark position (the first year, 1838, saw branch mint coinage from only the Charlotte facility). In 1840, Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head design replaced William Kneass' short-lived Classic Head motif of 1834 to 1839, and the mintmark position was moved to the reverse die. From a modest mintage of 13,674 pieces, of which fewer than 300 coins are believed in all grades, most of which grade VF or EF. PCGS# 7700. NGC ID: 25G5. Click here for certification details from NGC.
