Owner Comments:

HM-1, R-3. The year 1834 saw the first Classic Half Eagles struck in the United States Mint. Coinage of this type was initially very heavy--amounting to 657,460 pieces. This example is fully lustrous with radiant softly frosted surfaces. Modest hints of a semi-prooflike finish are also discernible in the fields as the coin rotates under a light. Gleaming yellow-gold color and a sharply executed strike. Purchased from Crescent City Numismatics.
