Description
1836 Classic Half Eagle, AU50
HM-1, Second-Rarest Die Pair
1836 $5 HM-1, R.6, AU50 NGC. Exceeded in rarity only by the
renowned 1836 HM-9 die marriage, this HM-1 example retains
substantial mint luster and sharply defined About Uncirculated
devices. The large mintage required nine die marriages, yet the
1836 is scarce-to-rare across the board regardless of die pair. A
complete set of 1836 die varieties is one of the premier challenges
in a set of Classic Head gold. Obtaining a pleasing About
Uncirculated HM-1 is one of the highest hurdles to completing such
a set. This notable example shows emerging radial die cracks on
both the obverse and reverse, above star 5 on the obverse and
through E in UNITED on the reverse. A short mark behind Liberty's
highest back curl is the only contact of individual mention.
Attractive red-gold surfaces are otherwise lightly abraded, with
exceptionally bold eye appeal.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25RY, Variety PCGS# 765225, Base PCGS# 8174, GSID# 376244)
