Description
1836 HM-1 Half Eagle, VF35
Choice for the Grade
1836 $5 HM-1, R.6, VF35 NGC. The initial 1836 variety is
also one of the rarest. HM-1 is the so-called "First Head" variety
(Breen 6507), with a wide portrait and an extra crease in Liberty's
top hair ribbon. Liberty's mouth is closed and has a determined
expression. The high 6 in the date leans left. Perhaps as few as 20
HM-1 examples survive, exceeded in rarity only by the R.7 1836
HM-9. This Choice VF coin displays a strong radial die crack above
star 5, as often seen for the variety. Mostly clear fields show
only widely separated small marks and surround smoothly worn
central devices. Some luster remains.From The John W. McCloskey Collection.
