Introduction des pièces de monnaie
Jeff Garrett:This was the first year of issue for quarter eagles at the New Orleans Mint. This issue must have been saved by the public, as this is one of the more common Branch Mint dates of the type, despite a mintage below that of the 1839-C issue. Readily available in all circulated grades, the 1839-O quarter eagle can be found in nice About Uncirculated condition. Mint States examples remain relatively scarce, although several dozen have been certified. The best example of the two coins in the Smithsonian collection is a rock-solid MS 64 piece.En savoir plus
