Lot 1487
1839-D. NGC XF Details, improperly cleaned. Lightly toned with some minor hairlines, still, a decent looking example. Only 18,939 minted of which about 150 examples are estimated to have survived. The present coin is important on several counts. First, it represents the initial appearance of the Liberty Head design and, simultaneously, the first use of a Dahlonega mintmark on the design. Second, the mintmark is on the obverse, a characteristic of only this year. Third, it is in relatively high EF45 grade being desirable. Fourth, the 1839-D is rare in any and all grades (PCGS # 8193) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
