Description
The 1834 Classic Head Quarter Eagle is a Gold Quarter Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Classic Head Quarter Eagles 1834-1839 series. The U.S. Mint produced 112,234 examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 100% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a fillet or headband inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM without the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. First year of the Classic Head design and the reduced gold weight. High production as old heavier coins were retired and melted. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $893 to $11K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 4.18 grams, 18.2 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7692.
