Classic Half Eagles
1834 $5 Plain 4 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Breen-6502, McCloskey 2-C, R.4 Diagnostics for this scarce variety include a Block 8, repunched 4, the presence of the eagle's tongue, and the 5 in the denomination left of the feather. The Mint struck 657,460 Classic Head half eagles in 1834, a transitional year that also saw the end of the short-lived Kneass half eagle series. The Plain 4 coins are far more accessible in all grades than the Crosslet 4 pieces, but they become very scarce in MS64. A small handful of finer coins are known.
Warm honey-gold color graces this eye-appealing half eagle. Swirling luster enhances the visual quality. The strike is bold, and marks are undeniably scant for the technical assessment, explaining the Plus designation and CAC approval sticker. Population: 40 in 64 (4 in 64+), 5 finer. CAC: 11 in 64, 2 finer (11/16).
