1839-D Five Dollar, AU55
Better Variety 1-A

1839-D $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1839-D is the only Dahlonega Liberty half eagle issue with an obverse mintmark. It also shows a slightly different Liberty head than subsequent dates. Two 1839-D die varieties are known. Variety 1-A has a level mintmark and a close 39 in the date, relative to Variety 2-A, which has a tilted mintmark and a wider spaced 39. Variety 1-A is rare, and constitutes between only 10% to 15% of survivors. This is an impressive example with well-defined caramel-gold surfaces. The sole mentionable mark is on the reverse rim above the second S in STATES. Population: 14 in 55, 15 finer. CAC: 4 in 55, 3 finer (3/22).(Registry values: P4)
