1834 $5 CLASSIC HEAD PLAIN 4 AU55 PCGS CAC

HM-1 (R.3) 1834 marks the inaugural year of the Classic Head half eagle series, and the Plain 4 variety is an appealing and collectible die marriage within the type. With an estimated surviving population of roughly 1,750 pieces, examples at the Premium Choice AU level are especially sought after, as they combine strong remaining definition with originality and visual appeal. This piece represents a well-preserved and attractive early U.S. gold coin that meets the expectations of both type collectors and specialists. A gentle muted luster remains visible. Last AU55 PCGS CAC example sold was for $2,880 04/25 SB against a CAC Price of $3,000 today, thanks to new increased bids.
