Lot 1166 - 1834 $5 Capped Head. Plain 4 NGC MS64
1834 $5 Capped Head. Plain 4. A first-rate 1834 with richly permeating golden luster that flows across the frosty pale orange-gold surfaces. Satisfactorily struck for the date, indeed, about as excellent as this date is ever found with the usual proviso that some of Liberty's hair curls are softly impressed by the die. The coin's designer would have loved this one! This is a design by William Kneass, whose long sojourn at the Mint was truncated in 1835 when he suffered a debilitating stroke. He carried on is an advisory capacity until his death in 1840. (#8160)
