Lot 2410
1840 $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Nice golden toning. Semi reflective surfaces. Shows typical slight weakness on the braid above the brow and in portions of the lovelock curl on Liberty's neck, etc. A lustrous example of this scarcer second-year of design. Christian Gobrecht so improved the half eagle look in 1839, that his design was kept in production all the way into 1908! (PCGS # 8194) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,500.
