Description
1840 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).
Frosty olive-orange surfaces with a well executed, overall sharp strike. A mark at Liberty's jaw is noted for accuracy, but we see no other blemishes worthy of individual attention. The 1840 is a popular early Liberty Head half eagle for better date type purposes. Even so, it is scarce in an absolute sense and its true rarity in the finer AU grades, like that of so many 1840s Philadelphia Mint half eagles, is overlooked by more casual collectors. High quality offerings such as this do not come along that often.
PCGS# 8194. NGC ID: 25SA.
From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
