Description
1834 Plain 4 Classic Five, MS64 Prooflike
HM-3, Rare With Reflective Fields
1834 $5 Plain 4 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. HM-3, R.2. A
magnificent near-Gem that offers olive-green devices and
butter-gold fields. The strike is uncommonly sharp for the series,
particularly on the stars and shield. The smooth, radiant fields
are reflective, unusual for a Classic gold half eagle. A few proofs
were struck from HM-3 dies, designated by Dannreuther as JD-1. The
present coin is an early die state example without the vertical
crack behind Liberty's mouth seen on most examples of the variety.
It will undoubtedly be of great interest to the specialist or
advanced collector. PCGS has certified just three pieces as
Prooflike, respectively graded MS63, MS64, and MS64+ (12/22).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 813158, Base PCGS# 8171, Greysheet# 200014)
