First-Year 1839 Liberty Half Eagle, AU58

1839 $5 AU58 NGC. CAC. A briefly circulated example from the first year of Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head type. While plentiful in low grades, the 1839 is very scarce at the AU58 level. This lemon-yellow specimen is lightly abraded with significant amounts of luster in the fields. The reverse is needle-sharp, while the obverse has some softness on the stars and around Liberty's ear. Census: 32 in 58, 38 finer (7/10).
