Lot Description

Exceptionally CHOICE and high end for the date and grade. This is a very special Classic Head quarter eagle for the collector of this short lived "transitional" series or for the gold type collector. A thick, frosty mint luster glows with a strong vibrance on both sides. The surfaces are richly toned with a wonderfully original honey and tangerine gold patina. Well struck, this lovely coin has bold definition on both sides. The eye appeal is excellent for a Classic Head with minimal lines noted only with a very strong glass. PCGS 8, NGC 7, CAC 6. This is the only MS63+ graded at PCGS. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $13,250. In our January Regency Auction 30, we sold a more common 1836 in 63+ for $14,688. This impressive coin is worthy of a very strong bid! Cert. Number 35969586 PCGS # 7696
