1839-C $5 MS63 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1839-C Half Eagle is a different type than the issues that follow beginning in 1840. Side-by-side comparison reveals several small design differences on the obverse that, while plainly evident, are not quite so pronounced as the differences on the 1838-39 tens. But the 1839-C has the important distinction of being the only Coronet Half Eagle with an obverse mintmark.

While 17,205 pieces were produced, the '39-C is quite elusive in all grades. Choice XF coins are very scarce and only 12-14 AUs are believed to exist. Of the handful of Mint State coins known, this fits well into the Condition Census. The coin has soft, frosted mint luster with medium yellow-gold surfaces. The striking details are very boldly brought up on each side with remarkably sharp details on the eagle's feathers. Several marks can serve as future identifiers; a couple in the field behind Liberty's lowest hair curl and a vertical grease mark (as struck) above the eagle's neck and wing on the reverse. Exceptional quality and a great rarity in this condition. Population: 2 in 63, 0 finer (2/05). (PCGS# 8192)

1839-C MS 63 NGC. Ex: Elrod. The 1839-C half eagle is a different type than the issues that follow beginning in 1840. Side-by-side comparison reveals several small design differences on the obverse that, while plainly evident, are not quite so pronounced as the differences on the 1838-39 tens. But the 1839-C has the important distinction of being the only Coronet half eagle with an obverse mintmark.
While 17,205 pieces were produced, the '39-C is quite elusive in all grades. Choice XF coins are very scarce and only 12-14 AUs are believed to exist. Of the seven or so Mint State coins known, this is the second finest. The coin has soft, frosted mint luster with medium, reddish tinted orange-gold surfaces. The striking details are very boldly brought up on each side with remarkably sharp details on the eagle's feathers. A few hairline-thin marks are seen on the obverse, but the only notable abrasion is located on the reverse--a small contact mark in the field between the head and right (facing) wing of the eagle. Exceptional quality and a great rarity in this condition. (PCGS# 8192)

1839-C $5 MS62 PCGS. Winter 1-A. Die State I. The 1839-C Five Dollar is actually an often overlooked one year type coin. It features a Liberty head design with the "C" mintmark placed prominently above the date on the obverse. This head design was only used in 1839, and was later revised slightly in 1840, and continued through 1908. While 17,205 pieces were produced, the '39-C remains quite elusive in all grades with Mint State coins being almost impossible to locate.

This coin has soft, frosted mint luster with an interesting mix of green-gold and subtle reddish-gold surfaces. The striking details are very boldly brought up on each side with remarkably sharp details on the eagle's feathers. A few small field marks are seen in the fields, but the only notable identifier is located on the reverse--a small vertical grease mark (as struck) in the field between the head and right (facing) wing of the eagle. Exceptional quality and a great rarity in this condition. Population: 3 in 62, 3 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 8192)

1839-C $5 MS62 NGC. Winter 1-A. Die State I. The 1839-C is a very scarce and all-too-often overlooked Liberty Half Eagle. The mintmark is on the obverse, giving this issue a certain amount of distinction, and the entire head of Liberty is slightly different in treatment from what followed in 1840. The central devices are fully brought up but the peripheries are weakly defined, irregular striking details being the norm for this issue. The bright green-gold surfaces show a noticeable accent of reddish patina around the margins that adds even more to the coin's overall eye appeal. This is a mid-Condition Census example that should fall between Winter's #2 and #3 pieces on his list of finest knowns. Population: 4 in 62, 0 finer (10/02).
From the Ashland City Collection. (PCGS# 8192)

1839-C AU 58 PCGS. A lovely, near-mint example of this popular issue. The lustrous surfaces show lightly variegated coloration and the striking details are generally well defined. There are no detracting or mentionable abrasions that could be used as a reference for future pedigree identification with an exceptionally clean appearance. An overall pleasing coin that deserves close inspection by specialists. (PCGS# 8192)

Auction 181 | Lot 7790 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1839-C MS 61 NGC. A rare and important coin not only because it is the first Charlotte issue of Christian Gobrecht's Coronet design, but it also is representative of a one-year type. The obverse is subtly different from the later "Head of 1840" coins, giving this and the other two 1839 issues a unique status. Additionally, the obverse mintmark placement has been an object of enduring interest to collectors. Only a handful of uncirculated pieces are known to exist from its original mintage of 17,205 pieces. This exceptionally lustrous specimen, reportedly from the important George O. Walton Collection Sale held by Stack's in October, 1963, displays some of the usual softness on the obverse stars, but very little lack of detail on the hair curls or elsewhere and is without appreciable surface marks. Population: 2 in 61, none finer, a single MS 64 at PCGS (10/97). (PCGS# 8192)

1839-C AU 58 PCGS. A superb example with one of the best strikes for this design that we can recall having seen. The surfaces are free of abrasions and are overlaid with lovely, deep, natural orange-gold color that has a slightly iridescent hue at the centers.
There are approximately 95-105 1839-C half eagles known with a dozen or so grading AU and another 7 in Mint State (the comparatively high number of Uncirculated coins may be due to a small hoard or some having been saved as souvenirs). The finest known is a superb fully prooflike PCGS MS 64 that was last owned by an Eastern dealer and which could convincingly (in our opinion) be classified as a Specimen Strike. There is an NGC MS 63 in a Michigan Collection while the Jim Gray coin, ex: B&R Garrett I (11/79): 480 is at least an MS 62, in spite of having been graded MS 60 by PCGS a number of years ago. Other Mint State pieces we are aware of include an NGC MS 61 in the Paul Dingler Collection (ex: Milas: 432); an MS 60+ in the Smithsonian; the NGC MS 61 we sold as lot 7790 in the 1998 FUN sale; and an NGC MS 60 in a Wisconsin Collection that was earlier lot 945 in the Pittman I (10/97) Sale.
