Description
1839-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 2-A. MS-60 (PCGS).
Smartly impressed, surprisingly so for the issuing mint, this Mint State example exhibits razor sharp to full detail throughout the design. The surfaces are lustrous for the grade with a satiny texture that yields to modest semi-prooflike reflectivity in isolated field areas. Subtle rose highlights enliven otherwise golden-apricot color. With an impressively smooth appearance for the assigned grade level, there is much to recommend this coin to discerning Southern gold enthusiasts. Our multiple offerings for such pieces in this sale notwithstanding, the 1839-D is a formidable condition rarity in Mint State with an extant population at this level of just five to 10 coins.
PCGS# 8193. NGC ID: 25S9.
PCGS Population: 4; 4 finer (MS-62 finest).
