Liberty Half Eagles
1840-C $5 AU55 PCGS. Variety 2. Bold die lines on each side of the eagle's legs attribute the variety. The bright yellow-gold surfaces of this Choice AU example display mint luster in the recessed areas. Aside from the usual softness on the eagle's left (facing) leg and the arrow feather, the design elements are well impressed. A shallow scrape under Liberty's chin will help to identify the coin. Population: 11 in 55, 17 finer (9/17).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2014), lot 6629.
