Lot Description

1836 Classic Head Half Eagle. HM-8. Rarity-4-. AU-58 (NGC). Sharply defined with abundant frosty luster remaining on both sides. Vivid orange-olive color further enhances strong eye appeal for this minimally circulated example. The scarce HM-8 attribution has an extant population of just 190 coins in all grades (per Daryl J. Haynor, 2020), which represents just 12% of extant 1836 Classic Head half eagles. PCGS# 8174. NGC ID: 25RY. Click here for certification details from NGC.
