1839-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU Details--Improperly Cleaned (NGC).，Sharply defined in and around the centers, this piece also offers relatively pleasing color in a warm honey-gold. Surface texture is curiously glossy to explain the NGC qualifier. One of the scarcest Charlotte Mint half eagles, the 1839-C is also eagerly sought by specialists as the first Liberty Head issue from this Southern coinage facility and the only one to display the C mintmark on the obverse above the date. As well, Libertys portrait has a appreciably different design on half eagles of this date that is has on coins dated 1840 and later.，PCGS# 8192. NGC ID: 25S8.，，
