Lot Description

1839-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 2-A. EF-45 (PCGS). Blended deep rose patina to otherwise khaki-gold surfaces, this coin exhibits a pleasingly original appearance in hand. Wispy handling marks are noted for accuracy, although there are no individually mentionable blemishes apart from a few nicks in the upper reverse field and at the adjacent rim. Faint traces of luster and ample boldness of detail enhance the desirability of this first year Liberty Head half eagle from the Dahlonega Mint. Provenance: From Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2017, lot 3957. PCGS# 8193. NGC ID: 25S9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
