1840 Liberty Head Half Eagle. . Toned. AU.
From the Dr. Jay M. Galst Collection.
This is what David Akers refers to as the second head type for the series. The date has been slightly enlarged and is now linear. This coin is well struck with all stars fully defined. Scattered light marks are on both sides. Attractive peripheral toning is also present on both obverse and reverse. An attractive example for the grade.
