Lot Description

Mintage: 118,143. Scarcer than the mintage might suggest, the 1839 is very popular with type collectors and has a slightly different from all subsequent emissions. Pleasantly struck, the surfaces exhibit sharp details and seemingly glow delicately under a good lamp. Hints of frosty texture lurk around some devices.
