Description

1839 Half Eagle, MS63
Debut of the Gobrecht Design
One Year P-Mint Type

1839 $5 MS63 NGC. Struck from dies that also struck the extremely rare 1839 half eagle proofs (only two or three known), the Philadelphia circulation strike coins are identified by two distinct die lumps -- one on the neck truncation, and a larger one on the neck between the neck curls and back curls. This Select Uncirculated example is an important entry that ranks among the dozen or so finest survivors at NGC. Smooth and satiny wheat-gold surfaces display orange highlights at the margins. Soft mint luster illuminates nearly mark-free surfaces. Despite a few weak stars on the obverse, this lovely half eagle displays a sharp strike and exceptional eye appeal. It is destined for a world-class Liberty half eagle collection. Census: 6 in 63, 7 finer (6/24).(Registry values: P5)
