1839-D Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS).,Sharply to fully defined over most design elements, this is an uncommonly high grade survivor from a mintage of 18,939 pieces. Wispy hairlines and a curiously bright golden yellow appearance explain the PCGS qualifier. The Dahlonega Mints first contribution to the Liberty Head half eagle series, the 1839-D is also the only one that displays both the original portrait design and the mintmark placement on the obverse. Scarce in an absolute sense, the present AU is also significant for having seen less commercial use than most survivors.,PCGS# 8193. NGC ID: 25S9.,,
