- 1840 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). Frosty honey-orange surfaces with a well executed, overall bold strike. A touch of glossiness to the texture is noted for accuracy, but we see no marks worthy of individual attention. The 1840 is a popular early Liberty Head half eagle for better date type purposes. Even so, it is scarce in an absolute sense and its true rarity in the finer AU grades, like that of so many 1840s Philadelphia Mint half eagles, is overlooked by more casual collectors. High quality offerings such as this do not come along that often. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 20; 16 finer (MS-65+ finest). PCGS# 8194. NGC ID: 25SA.
