Lot 890
1834 $5 Classic Head. Plain 4. NGC graded MS-63. Frosty luster in the fields and well struck by the dies. The coin remains untoned, so the glittering surfaces are not diminished by color or age. Examination with a glass will note a scattering of tick marks, as expected for the grade, locating a higher grade example will likely prove a very expensive undertaking, if one can be secured.
Struck from lapped dies, without a berry and with a faint die crack from the tips of each wing of the eagle to the rim. Identifiable by a bagmark on the lower part of the first T of STATES.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
