Brief Type of 1838
1839/8 Liberty Head Eagle. Type of 1838, Large Letters. AU-55 (PCGS).
This lovely example exhibits warm olive undertones to dominant honey-gold color. Traces of prooflike reflectivity are seen in the protected areas around the design elements, which display appreciable luster in a softly frosted texture. Sharply defined throughout the focal points, with attractive surfaces.
The 1839 Type of 1838 eagle is very scarce in all grades, with perhaps just under 250 examples known, the vast majority of which are well circulated. While just a hair more available than the first year of issue, there is quite a bit of competition between type collectors and classic period gold specialists when an example appears for sale, regardless of condition. As a solid AU-55 with strong eye appeal, this specimen will attract significant attention.
Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from Hollinbeck-Kagin's 298th Mail Sale, September 1972, lot 1294. Collector tag with provenance notation included.
PCGS Population: 12; 28 finer, 18 of which are Mint State (MS-66 finest).
