  • Lot #395 - 1834 Classic, Plain 4 PCGS AU-55
  • Gold $5-Classic Head Half Eagle
  • McCloskey 4-C (R.4), block 8, plain 4, second head. 1834 marked the year when the mint changed design for the half-eagle, as the intrinsic value of each coin made it profitable (over face value) to melt them down for bullion. 4-C can most quickly be attributed by noticing a die crack that ejects from the top of Liberty's modified portrait. Noticeable flowline texture nearly touching the rims speaks also to later dies.

  • Lot #352 - 1838 NGC MS-63
  • Hammer: $7,500
  • Gold $2.50-Classic Head Quarter Eagle
  • 6 graded MS-63, 16 higher at NGC. With 47-thousand pieces struck off a single pair of dies, it's no wonder early strikes can be somewhat prooflike, whereas this mid/later die-state example features smoothly frosted surface texture yet still retains a smidge of flashy aspect. An excellent strike popped up deeply sculpted peripheral stars on the obverse, as well as extremely intricate details on the eagle's claws. After nearly two centuries, the surface offers bright, pale lemon-gold hue with no distractions. The grade appears to be constrained by limited, but visible stray hairlines within each of the major fields
