Description
1836 Classic Head Half Eagle
Condition Census Block 8, HM-2, MS64 CAC
1836 $5 Block 8, HM-2, High R.4, MS64 NGC. CAC. Ex: SB
Pulaski. In his well-researched reference book on Classic Head
Gold, Daryl Haynor states "the highest grade found is AU58", making
this HM- 2 the highest graded example for both NGC and PCGS grading
services. Both sides have rim-to-rim die cracks, leading to the
scarcity of this variety.Deep yellow-gold blankets the surfaces of this Uncirculated Classic Head half eagle, designed by Chief Engraver William Kneass. A good strike sets off the lively luster of this appealing example. Very limited small marks qualify the coin for CAC approval. The coin is from the Steam Boat Pulaski shipwreck and is sure to entice strong bidding.
