1839-D Classic Head Quarter Eagle. McCloskey-2. EF Details--Ex Jewelry (PCGS). The only Classic Head quarter eagle struck at the Dahlonega Mint, the 39-D is also the first issue of this denomination to flow from the presses of the North Georgia facility. Although most often encountered in VF or XF levels of preservation, this example was apparently mounted in a jewelry piece for some time. The eagles feathers and the central obverse are poorly defined, but the balance of the features display pleasing delineation for the grade. Green-gold color rounds out the appearance of this popular D-mint example.
