Description
1834 Classic Head Five, MS63 Prooflike
Plain 4, HM-1, Terrific Eye Appeal
1834 $5 Plain 4 MS63 Prooflike PCGS. HM-1, R.3. The first
die marriage in the Classic Head half eagle series features a Plain
4 in the date, as well as a Script 8 and repunching on the D in
UNITED. Daryl Haynor writes in his recent series reference:"This pairing is the fourth most common, representing about 10% of the existing population. Along with the HM-3, this marriage produced the most lustrous coins for the date. The early die state production of HM-1 also made the most boldly struck coins for this Philadelphia production."
This example is definitely boldly struck, but it is Prooflike rather than lustrous. Clearly an early impression from the dies, the razor-sharp devices stand out appreciably against the flashy fields. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit small marks of little consequence. Population (all varieties): 1 in 63 Prooflike, 2 finer (1/23).
