1834 Plain 4 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle $5 NGC AU 58
Call For Price
Product Details: Acquire a truly historic piece of American coinage with this superb 1834 Plain 4 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle, certified and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) at the highly desirable grade of About Uncirculated 58 (AU 58). The 1834 Classic Head Half Eagle was the first year of a new design series, created in response to the Coinage Act of 1834. This act officially reduced the gold weight of U.S. gold coins to ensure they would circulate domestically, ending a long period where earlier, heavier gold coins were melted down for their bullion value. An AU 58 grade typically means the coin retains nearly all of its original mint luster and exhibits only a trace of wear on the highest points of the design, such as Liberty's hair above the eye and the eagle's wing tips. For a coin of this age that was intended for heavy circulation, this condition is exceptionally well-preserved. This 1834 Plain 4 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle in NGC AU 58 is an excellent acquisition, offering a tangible connection to early American economic policy and a beautiful example of early U.S. gold craftsmanship in a highly collectible, near-mint state grade.
