Description

Sharp 1839 Half Eagle AU58

1839 $5 AU58 NGC. The 1839-dated half eagles are a little-recognized single year design subtype. Compared with their 1840 successors, the neck truncation differs, and Liberty appears drowsy. This is a well struck sun-gold representative that has luster throughout the reverse periphery. A loupe reveals wispy thin marks near the stars and the eagle's left (facing) wingtip. Census: 32 in 58, 38 finer (7/10).(Registry values: P5)
