Description

Attractive 1839-C Half Eagle, XF40

1839-C $5 XF40 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The only variety known. This is a Die State I piece and was struck from perfect dies. Pleasing orange-gold patina covers each side of this first-year Liberty Head half eagle. The Charlotte Mint, which had opened a year before, struck only 17,205 examples of this scarce issue. A couple of stars show excellent definition and the reverse is sharp, but the obverse is soft in the center. It is a pleasant surprise to find a minimally abraded and attractive XF40 example.(Registry values: P5)
