Lot Description

1836 Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-4. Rarity-1. Head of 1835, Script 8, No Berry. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. Beautiful orange-gold surfaces with pale olive undertones evident as the coin rotates under a light. This is a lustrous and satiny near-Gem that also sports bold to sharp striking detail throughout. The brief Classic Head quarter eagle series of 1834 to 1839 is anything but common in the finer Mint State grades, which is even true for an otherwise plentiful issue such as the 1836. A fleeting bidding opportunity for the quality conscious gold type collector. Provenance: From the Trebuchet Collection. NGC Census: 16; 2 finer (both MS-65). PCGS# 7694. NGC ID: 25FU.
