1839-D Half Eagle, AU55
Iconic One-Year Type

1839-D $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. This is the rarer variety for the year with left edges of the mintmark and the 3 aligned. The 1839-D is an iconic one-year type coin from the Dahlonega Mint. Liberty's portrait is distinctively curved, moreso than on the modified design employed after 1840. However, the defining feature is the obverse mintmark placement. Only 22,896 of these coins were ever struck, and Doug Winter estimates that just 150 to 175 examples survive.

This Choice AU representative showcases strong definition on the stars, feathers, and olive leaves. Yellow-gold surfaces are moderately bright with scattered abrasions, including one on the chin, one below the 8, and another between AT in STATES. Census: 19 in 55 (1 in 55+★ ), 23 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25S9, PCGS# 8193, Greysheet# 8956)
