Lot Description

1835 Classic Head Half Eagle. McCloskey-1. First Head, Small Date. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. Exceptionally vivid reddish-gold surfaces are also intensely lustrous in a predominantly frosty texture. Direct lighting calls forth subtle semi-reflective qualities from the fields. Razor sharp striking detail further enhances the appeal of this premium BU example. This is a conditionally rare survivor of an otherwise available issue in the brief and challenging Classic Head half eagle series. Provenance: From the Macon Collection. PCGS# 8173. NGC ID: 25RV.
