Description

1839-C Half Eagle, AU55
Popular First and Single-Year Type
Original Luster Around the Margins

1839-C $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. The inaugural Charlotte Mint issue in the Liberty Head half eagle series is also the only one with an obverse mintmark placement. To be sure, those two claims to fame contribute to the popularity of the 1839-C. So does a limited mintage 17,205 coins and a scant surviving population of 150 to 200 pieces.

This Choice AU representative presents original mint luster around the peripheral design elements. Definition is strong throughout the yellow-gold surfaces, including the centers. Census: 20 in 55, 22 finer (11/22).
