Splendid, Near-Gem 1837 Classic Quarter Eagle

1837 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. McCloskey-B, R.3. The most available die pairing for the 1837, being recognized by a wide left border and three lines per vertical stripe on the shield, and an arrowhead touches the right foot of the final A in AMERICA. As a date, the 1837 is somewhat overlooked in the Classic Head Quarter Eagle series, with only a few dozen Uncirculated examples believed to survive. That number dwindles down to only a handful of coins in Choice and better grades. This ultra frosty representative is boldly struck in all areas and has an especially vibrant, satiny sheen. Were it not for a few paper-thin blemishes in the reverse fields, this lovely Quarter Eagle would almost certainly qualify as a Gem. Population: 3 in 64, 1 finer (7/04).(#7695) (Registry values: P2)
