详细说明

This Crosslet 4 variety is far more elusive than its identically dated Plain 4 counterpart, accounting for only one of the nine die marriages confirmed for the 1834 Classic Head half eagle in Daryl J. Haynor's excellent reference <em>United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839</em> (2020). A separate listing in the <em>Guide Book</em> has increased the variety's recognition and the demand for examples. The offered coin is visually pleasing and desirable at the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale. Warm honey-gold surfaces are overlaid in iridescent pinkish-rose that appears to drift toward the borders. Sure to catch the eye of advanced early gold variety enthusiasts.
