1834 $5 Gold Classic Head Half Eagle Plain 4 AU-53 PCGS
In 1834, the Philadelphia Mint produced a significant run of five-dollar gold pieces, totaling 657,460 coins. These half eagles represent the Classic Head design series, a distinctive era in early United States gold coinage. Struck without a mint mark, this particular issue features the Plain 4 variety in its date, distinguishing it from other die variations of the same year. Crafted from 0.8992 fine gold, each coin contains approximately 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. This specimen has survived the intervening centuries to be certified in About Uncirculated 53 (AU-53) condition, preserving the intricate details of the Classic Head portrait and the eagle on the reverse for modern observers to study and appreciate.
