Lot Title:
|
1939-D Arkansas. NGC MS-66.
|
|
Description:
|
Only 2104 examples of the Arkansas half were struck in Denver in 1939, bestowing key-date status on this otherwise innocuous issue. Powder-beige patina visits this example, carefully disguising the few tiny ticks that show up under a loupe. The grade limiting factor is undoubtedly a near-horizontal hairline Liberty's upper cheekbone. Although struck in low relief, the Denver mint was producing coins of high quality in 1939, and this Arkansas is uncharacteristically well struck.
