<B>1839 $5 AU58 NGC. CAC.</B></I> The Mint first struck Christian Gobrecht's half eagle in 1839. The Liberty Head type, also known as the Coronet or Braided Hair type, became one of the most stable designs of the 19th century. The obverse of this coin did not change for 70 years. The reverse remained essentially unchanged for that entire time. The most significant change the Mint made was to add IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll. The 1839 is scarce in AU condition, with very few know in Mint State condition. Sharply struck throughout, the surfaces are lightly but extensively abraded but the only mark of singular note is a shallow scratch connecting the stars above Liberty's head. Bright yellow-gold color. NGC has graded 31 pieces in AU58, with 38 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
