1839-D Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-2, Winter 1-A. Rarity-4. Weak Branch, No Berry. Unc Details--Reverse Tooled (NGC).
Warm yellow gold surfaces with gentle rosy-orange toning close to the rims and over much of the reverse gives this piece a very nice aesthetic. Excellent luster remains, as one might expect from the grade, as this coin had very little actual circulation handling. Crisply detailed throughout except for the usual soft spot at the left central reverse. A small patch of tooling over the viewer's right wing accounts for the Details assignment.
From the Pigeon Roost Collection.
