    I don't have a reference for this coin (except the Red Book).
    It's a US 1834 $5 gold Classic Head Half Eagle in an NGC Slab, XF-45.
    It's labeled Plain 4, Script 8.
    The Red Book (as a footnote) mentions two varieties: Script 8 and Block-style 8.

    Is there any significant difference in the coin's value between the two styles of the 8?

    PCGS shows a plain 4 and a Crosslet 4 and there is substantial value differences, Crosslet being the more desired one. But no mention of the 8. Edited, as I should have said - no mention of the 8 in 1834. There are block answers script 8's in other years.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I conclude that there's no significant value difference between the two varieties.
