Lot Description

Scarce Mint State 1836 Quarter Eagle 1836 Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-4. Rarity-1. Head of 1835, Script 8, No Berry. MS-62 (PCGS). Frosty to modestly semi-reflective surfaces are further enhanced by dominant color in pale honey-apricot. A few glints of rose iridescence are evident on the reverse when viewed with the aid of direct lighting. Boldly to sharply struck with an impressively smooth appearance for the assigned grade. The brief Classic Head quarter eagle series of 1834 to 1839 is anything but common in Mint State, which is even true for an otherwise plentiful issue such as the 1836. A noteworthy bidding opportunity for discerning gold type collectors. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. PCGS# 7694. NGC ID: 25FU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
