Lot Description

1835 Classic Head Half Eagle. HM-2. Rarity-3. MS-62 (PCGS). Fully original surfaces exhibit a bold blend of deep gold and honey-apricot. The texture is lustrous and softly frosted, the strike well executed with all major features crisp. This second year issue was saved to a far lesser extent than the first year 1834, with the result that the 1835 is considerably scarcer in Mint State. The present example, well preserved and pleasingly smooth for the assigned grade, will be just right for in a better date gold type set or advanced collection of Classic Head $5s. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 22; 21 finer (MS-65+ finest). PCGS# 8173. NGC ID: 25RV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
