Introducción de monedas
Jeff Garrett:Like the 1839 half eagle, the Charlotte-issue half eagle was produced with a slightly different design from the later years of the type. It is also very popular because of the obverse mintmark location. Most of the 1839-C half eagles seen are circulated. There are probably about 30 to 40 coins known at the About Uncirculated level. In Mint State the 1839-C half eagle is rare, but examples do turn up at auction on occasion. Most examples of the issue are well struck in general; however, an irregular striking can sometimes be found on the obverse. The authors have seen coins with striking depressions on the head of Liberty. The finest example of the date has been graded MS-64, one of which sold for $172,500 in September, 2008. The coin is deeply prooflike, and it has been speculated that the piece may be a presentation striking.Leer más
