The most common date of its decade, the 1939 is both abundant and accessible in most any circulated and uncirculated grade. There are extremely healthy numbers of Mint State pieces all the way through MS67. MS68 not considered rare but is certainly the finest and only somewhat scarce grade. Overall, the issue is very attractive with strong strikes and white luster or faint golden color.
Obverse Description
Liberty portrayed standing on a rock, facing left, with flowing robes and her right hand outstretched with a star-covered drapery flowing behind her. I bright sun, with extended rays is rising from the horizon on the lower left. The word LIBERTY frames the periphery and date appears at the bottom center. and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is in the right field.
Reverse Description
A large eagle perched on a rock, facing left with wings elevated in a defensive posture. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR appear on the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM sits atop a small olive branch left of the eagle.
