Description
1834 Plain 4, HM-8 Classic Half Eagle
Well-Struck MS63
1834 $5 Plain 4, HM-8, R.4, MS63 PCGS. The D in UNITED is
minutely repunched on this variety. According to Daryl J. Haynor in
United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839, HM-8
represents only about 4% of the date's overall population. As a
date, the 1834 Plain 4 Classic half eagle is occasionally available
in grades as fine as MS64, but attractive pieces are elusive, and
numerically finer coins are rare. The present example displays a
bold strike throughout Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's
plumage, showing just a touch of softness on the temple and along
the left border of the shield. Light abrasions are seen, but none
are obtrusive. The rich straw-gold color is deeply attractive.
Population (all varieties included): 50 in 63 (1 in 63+), 50 finer
(7/23).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# E2KE, Variety PCGS# 765198, Base PCGS# 8171, GSID# 376235)
Metal: 89.92% Gold, 10.08% Copper
