Description
1834 Classic Half Eagle, HM-5, MS64+
Lustrous Surfaces
1834 $5 Plain 4, HM-5, R.2, MS64+ NGC. The 4 in the date is
distant from Liberty's hair, and the 8 is the so-called "block"
style. More than 650,000 half eagles were were produced in 1834,
including both the Plain 4 and Crosslet 4 varieties. Many of these
were undoubtedly made from the "recycling" of older, heavier coins,
after the weight of gold coinage was reduced. The Plain 4 is easily
the more common, and is the most available issue of the Classic
Head type, especially in Mint State. This example has original
honey-gold color over soft, satiny surfaces, and is exceptionally
clean for the grade. Some minor strike softness is detected at the
centers. About 20 degrees of clockwise die rotation is also noted.
