Highly Lustrous 1835 Half Eagle, MS64
Breen-6504, McCloskey 1-A

1835 $5 MS64 PCGS. First Head, Breen-6504, McCloskey 1-A, R.2. The 5 in the denomination is almost completely below the feathers in the fletchings on this variety. In his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, Breen also notes that the: "Truncation is nearly straight; forelock single; center stroke of 8 thin; open 3."
This highly lustrous near-Gem displays bright yellow-gold surfaces, and a well executed strike delivers sharp definition to the design elements, save for softness in stars 4,5, and 6. A few minute handling marks scattered about precludes Gem classification. Population: 14 in 64, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P1)
