1834 Plain 4 Classic Head Half Eagle, MS62

1834 $5 Plain 4 MS62 NGC. First Head, Breen-6501, McCloskey 3-B, R.2. In 1834, the weight of U.S. gold coins was reduced in order to keep them from being melted for their bullion value, and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM was removed from the reverse. This new type was produced for five years. This green-gold example is well struck and lustrous, with just a few wispy marks on each side.
