1834 $5 PLAIN 4

Description

NGC 1834 Plain 4 MS 61. Due to the value of gold rising above the face value of the coin, in mid-1834 the size was reduced and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM was removed. This created an interesting five-year type. This piece is a little softly struck on the hair just above the ear, but otherwise, quite sharp.
