Description

1834 $5 Plain 4 XF45 PCGS. First Head, Breen-6501, McCloskey 3-C, R.6. Crisply defined, this piece displays alternating yellow-gold and rose-red colors. A number of small marks are evident but do not fully remove the eye appeal. At the moment, Classic Half Eagles are not widely collected by die marriage, even though the dies were formed by many individual punches similar to the Half Dollars of the era. This may change in the future, once a quality reference becomes available, and rare die marriages may become eagerly contested.(#8171) (Registry values: P1)
