Choice McCloskey 2-A
1834 Classic Head Five

1834 $5 Plain 4 MS64 PCGS. Second Head, Breen-6502, McCloskey 2-A, R.2. The first of the new-tenor gold half eagles, the 1834 Classic Head coins of all stripes are the earliest representatives of the denomination to survive in quantity to the present day. This charming Choice representative is among the finest of those, well-defined overall with only a touch of softness evident on the central curls. Warm sun-gold surfaces are satiny and minimally marked. With just three finer examples known to PCGS (11/08), this would be a great example to add to a high-end date or type set.
