Haynor's comprehensive book "United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839" suggests that the number is 7 taking into account known resubmissions, regrades and errors. Single variety HM-1, Obverse 1, Reverse HThe TE in UNITED appears to have been re-punched to the left. There are two small triangular remnants of the T between the top of the T and the E and there is a small triangular remnant of the E at the top leg of the E in UNITED. I have seen this on all of the high-grade coins I've looked at in photos. Just an interesting observation. PCGS/NGC graded population 606, including resubmissions. Haynor estimates a total population in all grades of about 450 and only 7 graded MS65 and higher, while PCGS CoinFacts estimates a survival of 400 with 9 graded MS65 or higher.Mintage 47,030 Will ship via USPS Priority Mail, registered and insured.

Aside; I highly recommend Haynor's book "United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839" to anyone collecting Classic Head Quarter and Half Eagles. It has significantly more information and detailed photos missing in previously published documents. Excellent resource.
