PCGS 1834 MS 63. Possible Proof. O-101, R.1. According to Breen (1988) at least four proofs exist of the Head of 1833, Large Date and Letters, Overton 101-103 varieties. The Large Date and Letters type was the earliest of the year to have been struck and the King Of Siam 1834 half dollar is an O-103.
This piece has good depth of reflectivity in the fields on both sides, and is evenly matched in depth from obverse to reverse. The mirrored finish is somewhat subdued, however, by the smoky gray toning that also has underlying layers of rose and blue. While these multiple shadings of color tend to obscure the field reflectivity to the casual observer, the more persistent viewer will notice when the coin is held beneath a light that the fields have an impressive mirrored flash. An interesting study piece for the Bust half specialist.
