Lot 1677
1839 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. AU-50 Semi Prooflike. The fields exhibit mirror reflectiveness, which is very appealing to the eye. As such, there are the usual faint lines from cleaning or circulation, its hard to tell the difference on a lightly circulated coin. The surfaces remain untoned at the present, and we note a sharp "fin" or wire rim around the upper obverse. Boldly struck on the obverse, the reverse with a bit of weakness on the left leg of the eagle, as usual for the date. Also prooflike on the reverse, this must have been an early strike from the dies, soon after the few proofs were coined.
Estimated Value $400 - 450.
