Description du lot

1839-D Liberty Half Eagle. VF-20 (PCGS). OGH. Bright yellow-gold with antique-gold highlights. Lacquer clings to much of the reverse design details and is easily removable with a solvent should you care to take it out of the holder. From the first year of Gobrecht's Liberty Head design type, and the only year of the type with an obverse mintmark placement. The mintmarks were moved to the reverse in 1840 and remained there through the end of the half eagle denomination in 1929. PCGS# 8193.
