Description

1839-C Five Dollar Liberty, AU55
Important One-Year Type Coin

1839-C $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1839-C half eagle is a one-year type coin, displaying Christian Gobrecht's original Liberty Head design and a prominent obverse mintmark. The portrait was substantially revised in 1840 and the mintmark moved to the reverse. This example displays Choice About Uncirculated sharpness and significant remaining mint luster. A crisp strike for the issue attends the central motifs, although a few stars lack their central definition. Light abrasions cluster throughout the fields, yet the overall preservation is above average for the issue and earns CAC endorsement -- the only AU55 example so-recognized. Gleaming medium orange-gold surfaces flash lime-green highlights. Population: 10 in 55, 12 finer. CAC: 1 in 55, 0 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P5)
