1839-D $5

Description

PCGS 1839-D XF 40. While the mintage is only slightly less than the much better known 1838-D, the '39-D is a significantly rarer coin, especially in high grades. Like the '38-D, it also has the popular obverse mintmark that was retired to the reverse of all U.S. coins until revived again in 1916. This piece has numerous, but small, abrasions peppered across both sides, the only mentionable one being a scratch across the back of the truncation of the neck. A bit softly defined on the highpoints of the design, there is a moderate amount of light reddish color surrounding the devices.
