|
1834 Plain 4 NGC XF-45.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Pretty ruby-gold patina makes this seem like a more-original-than-usual classic head type coin, even though overall, some unexpectedly glossy texture emanates from... |

|
1834 Plain 4 XF details/cleaned.
|
|
We suggest a "cleaned" disclaimer to go along with details at or around the XF level, but undue alarm will prove unnecessary as the appearance is far from offensive given the buttercup-gold patina... |
|

|
1834 Plain 4 NGC AU-58.
|
|
Classically attractive details practically erupt from the fields, having been brought up in terrific relief by a fantastic strike. When purchasing a type coin of this caliber, it certainly pays to... |

|
1834 Plain 4 VF details/cleaned.
|
|
Flattening at Liberty's forehead is due as much to strike as wear. Overall, details are at or very near XF, with VF-35 probably a valid details assessment. Pale surfaces display some hairlines and... |

| 876 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $525.00 |
|
1834 Plain 4. XF details/cleaned.
|
|
Surfaces have not been harshly treated at all, as they display only a little too much glossy texture to be fully natural. Observing the surfaces between the shield stripes, one can easily conclude... |
|
| 483 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $500.00 |
|
1834 Plain 4. VF.
|
|
Very-fine details are "all there", as there is but little flatness in the center of the portrait, and the eagle has every feather showing, albeit with some signs of stray flatness here and there. By... |
|
| 484 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $500.00 |
|
1834 Plain 4. XF.
|
|
A substantial die crack binds together the third through sixth stars and indicates a die close to failure, although the details are still struck up nicely. Pleasing mustard-gold patina ensures a... |

|
1834 Plain 4 AU details/cleaned, and a 1912-S Indian half-eagle...
|
|
The 1834 is almost semi-prooflike in smoothness, but the effect is unnaturally satiny and seems to have been imparted by very clever brushing of the surfaces. The 1912 is somewhat bright and may have... |

|
1834 Plain 4. PCGS Genuine.
|
|
Genuine-92 indicates "cleaning" as the reason PCGS declined a grade, but potentially of more impact to the coin's overall value, the planchet appears bent, as if mildly impacted at the obverse upper... |
|
| 780 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $600.00 |
|
1834 Plain 4. PCGS Genuine.
|
|
Fairly innocuous hairlines confirm the PCGS Genuine-92 assessment for "cleaning", but fortunately, much of the original flowline luster has survived both normal wear and the jeweler's cloth to provide... |

| 782 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,750.00 |
|
1834 Plain 4. AU.
|
|
Removed from an NGC AU holder, per the consignor's notes. Significant luster fills the margins, and stars are sharply defined, along with other design elements. Minimal glossy surface texture... |

|
1834 Plain 4. PCGS XF-45.
|
|
Fantastic original surfaces are characterized by a luminous chartreuse-gold patina and just the perfect amount of grunge built up around the devices, promoting the bold look desired of early gold. ... |

|
1834 Plain 4. NGC MS-63.
|
|
The obverse for McCloskey 3-A is distinctive in that a die crack extending downward from Liberty's eye gives her the appearance of crying. On the reverse, the final "A" in AMERICA just touches the... |

|
1834 Plain 4. NGC VF-30.
|
|
An extremely original coin that retains modest highpoint definition as a result of honest circulation. Regardless of the NGC grade of just VF-30, faint hints of mint luster remain in some protected... |

|
1834 Plain 4. ANACS AU Details Net XF-45, Cleaned.
|
|
Glossy from an abrasive but not terribly aggressive cleaning, resulting in only a five point downgrade at ANACS. Although deprived of original mint luster, this type coin retains bold detail. |

|
1834 Plain 4. NGC AU-55.
|
|
Despite rather bright lemon-gold color, the surfaces are only mildly abraded, and the strike is very good, particularly on the reverse. Loaded with mint luster. From the Windchime Type Gold... |

1834 Plain 4. NGC XF-40.

Charming copper-gold surfaces copiously grace this example of the "First Head" variety listed for this Half Eagle type. The few random surface marks observed are congruent for the assigned grade... |

|
1834 Plain 4. NGC XF-40.
|

This popular type was issued for only a five year period. Its yellow-gold surfaces are enhanced with a rose splash. Exempt from detracting marks or blemishes, it has a handsome bearing for this... |

1834 Plain 4. NGC XF-45.
