Minimally Worn 1840 Half Eagle, Narrow Mill Variety

1840 $5 Narrow Mill AU 55 NGC. Although nowhere near as rare as its Broad Mill counterpart, the 1840 Narrow Mill is a conditionally scarce coin that is most often encountered in VF or XF grades. The combined mintage for this issue is 137,382 pieces, most of which were of the Narrow Mill variety. With ample remaining definition and traces of original luster, this is an appealing Choice AU representative. The strike is somewhat soft over the highpoints of the design, and scattered abrasions are noted on both sides.
