Sarah Martha Cochrane (1839-1875) 的钱币相册
All 1839 Half Dimes are of the No Drapery type. Compared to the other dates of this type, the 1839 is relatively common. Collectors should have no trouble finding either circulated or Uncirculated examples. Most Mint State examples are in the MS63 to MS64 range, and even Gems are available in sufficient quantities to keep the price affordable. The very best 1839 No Drapery Half Dimes appear at the MS67 level. Most examples of this date are well struck. High-end examples feature intense, frosty luster and colorful eye appeal.
The 1839 Dime is a relatively common coin that can be found in most grades without too much difficulty, including in top condition. In fact, the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census includes ten examples that are all MS67 or better. Die variety collectors can choose from nine different varieties (as enumerated by researcher Gerry Fortin), including one die pair that was used to strike both Proofs and coins for circulation. Among the most dramatic coins in the entire series of Liberty Seated Dimes is the 1839 "Pie-Shaped Shattered Obverse" Dime. This extremely rare variety shows heavy die cracks that split the obverse into three triangular areas of almost equal size.
