Classic Quarter Eagles
1838 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. Breen-6146, Variety 19, R.2. The 1838 quarter eagles feature a slightly modified design with a more attractive layout than earlier issues of the Classic Head type. All were struck by a single die pair. Scattered abrasions and just a hint of rub over the high points are all that keep this from the Uncirculated category. The coin's bright surfaces are mellowed slightly by orange-gold toning that bespeaks originality. Census: 49 in 58, 65 finer (9/17).
