Description

1839-C Half Eagle, MS62
Important Obverse Mintmark Type

1839-C $5 MS62 NGC. Variety 1. Sole known dies. The earliest examples of Charlotte and Dahlonega gold are especially popular for their mintmark placement; with the C or D tucked between the truncation of the bust and the date, these coins bear all the relevant information on one easily-displayed side, a bonus for the proud owner of Southern gold. This is an impressively detailed example from early in the Coronet half eagle series, deep yellow-gold with peripheral orange overtones and no trace of wear. A few digs on the portrait and other abrasions account for the grade, but the overall eye appeal is solid on this important piece. Census: 5 in 62, 3 finer (11/10).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25S8, PCGS# 8192, Greysheet# 8955)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
