1839 Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. EF-45 (PCGS).
A pleasing example from the final year of this short lived series. Struck from 1834 to 1839, the Classic Head series is a short, yet surprisingly challenging set for the collector to complete when eye appeal and originality are taken into account. This one is quite pleasing overall with honest wear on the wheat and tangerine infused golden coloration. Despite the wear, the details remain quite bold.
PCGS# 7698. NGC ID: E2MR.
