Description

1840 Reverse of 1839 MS 63 PCGS. This reverse has the small letters as seen on the 1839 issue, as opposed to the medium letters and larger eagle as seen on the 1838 Reeded Edge half dollar. The small letters reverse is the more obtainable of the two 1840 issues in mint state, but can still be accurately described as scarce. This is a choice example that is toned an attractive golden-rose over both sides with good underlying mint luster. A bit softly struck on the peripheral stars on the obverse.
