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 #419 - 1818 BD-1 NGC MS-63
Hammer: $49,750
Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
Bass-Dannreuther-1 (R.5), early dies with no cracks. Perhaps as a result of the use of fresh dies, both sides received delightful sharpness as-struck, and the kind of beckoning luster that is requisite for a choice grade. A mere whisper on each of the eagle's talons could be the only possible indications of a strike that barely missed 100% accuracy. The obverse shows trivial adjustment marks that somehow evade the field and land only on the extreme right edge -- a bona fide perk for the collector who demands a minimum of possible distractions. One tiny copper spot past the fifth star hardly requires mention, but what must be noticed is the decidedly luxuriant eye-appeal that almost seems impossible of 200+ year-old gold coinage.
