1835 $5 MS (PCGS#8173)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1835 Classic Head Half Eagle. McCloskey-2. Second Head, Small Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A superior piece in every respect, combining technical quality with strong eye appeal. The surfaces are intensely lustrous and lightly reflective, with considerable satiny texture blanketing the devices. Pale golden-wheat in color with richer shades of honey glowing from the protected areas. Mintages of gold coins blossomed after the Act of June 28, 1834 reduced their weight, and more than 371,000 half eagles were coined in 1835. The neighboring issues of 1834 and 1836 were even larger, producing plenty of $5 gold pieces that saw use in commerce. With exportation no longer profitable, these Classic Head half eagles stayed in the United States and circulated as the workhorse denomination for years. Because of this, well worn examples of the 1835 are now easily obtained, but near-Mint and Uncirculated examples are remarkably scarce. This AU-58 (PCGS) is an important offering for collectors, and additional approval by CAC surely increases desirability. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 8173. NGC ID: 25RV.
