Description

1839-C Half Eagle, AU50
Transitional Charlotte Issue

1839-C $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 1. The first Charlotte Mint Liberty half eagle issue has a meager mintage of 17,205 pieces. Specialists estimate only 200 survivors, predominantly in VF to AU grades. 1839 is the final year of the series with an obverse mintmark, which crowded both the date and mintmark below the bust. The present example has olive-gold fields and plentiful tinges of chestnut-brown luster. The strike is generally good, though the claws and fletchings are lightly impressed, and several stars lack centrils. Marks are minimal aside from a few small rim nicks.(Registry values: P5)
