1834 $5 Classic Head Half Eagle, Crosslet 4 NGC VF35

SOLD
SKU
3103339001

The Crosslet 4 variety is vastly scarcer than its Plain 4 counterpart, by a factor of about 1 in 10. In summer 1834 the $5 denomination was redesigned by William Kneass, who created what is now known today as the Classic Head style. The new 1834 issue is similar in design to the quarter eagle of the same date. The obverse depicts the head of Miss Liberty facing left, her hair secured by a band inscribed LIBERTY, with stars circling her head, and with the date below. The reverse shows an eagle with a shield on its breast, perched on an olive branch and holding three arrows. The inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 5 D. surrounds. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, used earlier, was discontinued.
