<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24620705, member: 101855&quot;]We seem to be having trouble getting to 1834. I&#039;ll post another U.S. coin to get the date. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an old style, 1834 Capped Bust Half Eagle. This design type is rare because 99+% of the mintage was melted. The coins were shipped to overseas almost as soon as they were minted. The European connection for this piece is that the gold in many coins of this type ended up in British and French gold coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the Plain 4 variety. The &quot;Coin Facts&quot; estimate is 37 survivors. It&#039;s probably a bit higher than that, but not by much. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1565661[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
