Description

1839 Half Eagle, MS64
Important One-Year Type
None Graded Finer

1839 $5 MS64 PCGS. High-grade, low population early gold continues its climb as more collectors recognize the inherent rarity and numismatic significance of these pieces. This near-Gem, 1839 half eagle is a notable example of the trend. It is highly valued as a first year of issue and a one-year type. Although extremely scarce in near-Gem condition with none graded finer than MS64 by either major service, it is a difficult coin to find problem-free and attractive in all grades.

The 1839 five offered here is exemplary for its abundant mint luster and vibrant eye appeal. It is sharply, almost fully struck with only minor luster grazes and small marks in the field preventing an even higher grade. A compelling half eagle -- avidly sought after by date and type collectors and seldom offered in this high grade. Population: 2 in 64, 0 finer (12/13).(Registry values: P5)
