Attributed by the 6 in the date centered under the curl, the lack of a bud on the branch and an eagle's tongue, 50% of the 5 in the denomination under the feather, and 70% of the D under the branch (John McCloskey, "A Study of Classic Half Eagles, 1834-1838" in <I>America's Gold Coinage</B></I>, ANS Coinage of the Americas Conference, November 1989).<BR> Both sides of this near-Gem are awash in gorgeous frosty luster, and an attentive strike brings out bold definition on the design elements. Peach-gold surfaces reveal just a few minute marks that preclude a higher grade. Outstanding in all respects. Population: 16 in 64, 2 finer (6/07).<BR><I>From The Carlton Woods Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Kneass<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
