Description
1834 HM-5 Half Eagle, MS64
Triple-Punched Plain 4
Condition Census
1834 $5 Plain 4, HM-5, R.2, MS64 NGC. The HM-5 die marriage
is the most plentiful of the series, and combined with its
first-year of issue for the Classic Head design, is an ideal
candidate for a gold type collection. Daryl Haynor reports that
about one-third of all 1834 Classic Head half eagles are from this
die pair that has a triple-punched 4 in the date. The obverse die
was reused for HM-6 and HM-7, and is seen on close to half of all
surviving examples of the issue. Despite the plentiful nature of
this variety, we have offered finer HM-5 half eagles on just six
occasions over the last 30 years, and those auction appearances
represent four coins. The present near-Gem is a trifle soft at the
centers as always, and exhibits brilliant yellow surfaces with
light contrast between the reflective fields and the lustrous
devices. For all nine 1834 Classic Head half eagle varieties, NGC
has certified just 12 numerically finer examples (7/23).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# E2KE, Variety PCGS# 765195, Base PCGS# 8171, GSID# 376232)
