Description du lot

Among circulation strike die pairings of the 1836 Classic Head quarter eagle issue, only HM-3 is rarer than HM-7. The paucity of 1836 HM-7 quarter eagles is due to a small press run caused by the early break up of Obverse 5. According to Daryl J. Haynor (2020), just 22 coins are extant in all grades, or only 0.9% of extant 1836 Classic Head quarter eagles.
