1839-D Half Eagle, VF25
Elusive Variety-1

1839-D $5 VF25 PCGS. Variety-1. The mintmark is directly over the 3 in the date, characteristic of the rare Variety-1.

This example shows striking weakness on the obverse that is typical for the issue, and deep greenish-orange color that is indicative of the coin's originality. A few minor abrasions are present that are not unusual for the grade. Population: 9 in 25, 90 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P4)
