Lot #393 - 1834 Classic, Plain 4 PCGS AU-50
Gold $5-Classic Head Half Eagle
Benjamin J. Collection. McCloskey 3-B, perhaps the most common "plain 4" die-marriage. Clean surfaces radiate yellow-gold hue with minimal luster seen along the protected rim area. Ten points of wear have erased only a trivial amount of the excellent detailing originally provided by the dies.

US Currency-Gold Certificates, Large
A difficult gold certificate fifty, PMG places the note very close to choice territory, with obvious quality visible given the amount of wear. Perfect color for VF and modest creasing both play into grade consideration, with edges a little sharper than usual for the grade.
