Description
1834 Classic Half Eagle, AU Sharpness
Plain 4, Rare HM-4 Variety
1834 $5 Plain 4, HM-4, High R.5 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine. AU
Details. Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection. According to the
Haynor-McCloskey reference, only about 2% of surviving 1834 Classic
Head half eagles represent the HM-4 die marriage. HM-7 and HM-8
share the HM-4 obverse die, while HM-2 and HM-6 employ the same
HM-4 reverse, most easily identified by the second arrowhead's
"broken" shaft, which does not extend beyond the eagle's first
talon. This coin displays a middle die state, with a die crack that
exists along the base of NITED in UNITED. The HM-4 die pair is
clearly the scarcest of nine 1834 Plain 4 varieties. This HM-4
example is lightly cleaned, but retains traces of original
orange-gold luster and partially reflective fields.Ex: Purchased from Edwin Shapiro (8/11/1967).
