A substantial mintage of 547,986 Classic Head quarter eagles was accomplished in 1836, split between the Script 8 and Block 8 types. There are five die varieties known for the Script 8 type, and three different die marriages for the Block 8. This attractive Choice example represents the Script 8, Head of 1835, Variety 13, with a berry in the cluster of leaves on the olive branch.
