Description du lot

This handsome piece exhibits warm honey-orange color to frosty surfaces that offer strong luster at the assigned grade level. The strike is bold to sharp throughout, and there are few sizeable marks that catch the eye. The brief Classic Head quarter eagle series of 1834 to 1839 is anything but common in Mint State, which is even true for an otherwise plentiful issue such as the 1836. A noteworthy bidding opportunity for advanced gold type collectors, especially since the Block 8 is the rarer of the two <em>Guide Book</em> varieties of this issue.
