***Auction Highlight*** 1839-c Charlotte Gold Liberty Half Eagle $5 Graded vf35 By SEGS. The 1839-C is another one-year type. Unlike the 1838-C half eagle, this issue is not well recognized by non-specialists. Christian Gobrecht’s design features a liberty head with the mintmark placed on the obverse. In 1840, the treatment of the head was changed substantially. The “Head of 1839” shows the back of back of the hairbun further from the tenth star and the neck more curved than on the “Head of 1840.” The Head of 1839 also shows the right end of the neck further from the final star than on the Head of 1840. Finally, on the Head of 1839, the series of curls at the rear of Liberty’s neck show an entirely shape and composition than those seen on the Head of 1840.The 1839-C half eagle is a scarce issue. The 1839-C has become more popular in recent years as collectors’ interest in one-year types and issues from the various branch mints has increased. For collectors who focus on Charlotte gold type, the 1839-C half eagle is an essential issue, and this has further increased recent demand.
