Description

1839-D Five Dollar, Choice AU
A Pleasing, Problem-Free Example

1839-D $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Of the 125-150 pieces known of the 1839-D half eagle in all grades, only 25-30 individual coins are believed known in AU. As an Obverse Mintmark type coin and the only year with the Liberty design, this is certainly an attractive example. The striking details are well brought up on each side, and these same design motifs show just a bit of high point wear. Traces of mint luster can be seen surrounding the devices, and the bright yellow-gold surfaces show occasional splashes of deep reddish-gold patina. The 1839-D is rarely offered in mint condition, and this problem-free Choice AU certainly makes a wise choice for the collector of D-mint fives. Population: 8 in 55, 9 finer (3/11).(Registry values: P4)
