A predominantly brilliant example with wisps of enhancing golden-russet iridescence in the protected areas around many design elements.

Sharply struck in and around the centers, die fatigue explains the softness of detail around the peripheries. With the first year 1836 Reeded Edge a well known key date, Mint State type collectors would be wise to pursue this 1837. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
