1834 $5 CROSS 4

Description

PCGS 1834 Crosslet 4 VF 30. The Crosslet 4 variety is the undisputed key to the Classic half eagle series, and is, of course, many times rarer than its Plain 4 counterpart. VF coins are typical for this issue and survivors are seldom seen any finer. This piece should interest many collectors as it is a nearly "perfect" coin for the grade. The surfaces are original and show no distracting blemishes, rim cuts, or planchet flaws. There are just the usual number of light handling marks on each side. The peripheries are accented with a modest amount of reddish patina. A very rare opportunity for the gold specialist. Trends $1,350 in VF 20, $2,650 in XF 40.
