Description

1839-D Half Eagle, AU53
Scarce One-Year Dahlonega Type

1839-D $5 AU53 NGC. CAC. Variety 2-A. An important on-year type coin and the sole Liberty Head Dahlonega issue with an obverse mintmark, the scarce 1839-D displays a significantly different portrait of Liberty than seen on the 1840 to 1861 issues. Christian Gobrecht's original design appears only on the 1838 and 1839 eagles and the 1839 quarter eagles and half eagles before undergoing several refinements. This CAC-endorsed 1839-D is especially strong for the assigned grade, with only lightly abraded fields and pleasing, yellow-gold color with orange accents along the rims. The strike is sharper than often seen, with slight high-point wear and pockets of luster around the stars and letters. Census: 16 in 53 (1 in 53+), 43 finer. CAC: 2 in 53, 7 finer (6/24).
