Lot Description

1837 Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-1. Rarity-3. EF-40 (NGC). Only 400 or so 1837 quarter eagles are estimated to survive in all grades, establishing the 1837 as one of the scarcest and most underrated Classic Head quarter eagles. Daryl J. Haynor (2020) observes that "it is easier to find an 1839-C or 1839-O in EF to AU condition than an 1837." Clearly this handsome honey-olive and rose-russet example represents an important find for the astute gold collector. PCGS# 7695. NGC ID: 25FX. Click here for certification details from NGC.
