Description
1836 HM-7 Half Eagle, MS63
From the Steam Boat Pulaski
1836 $5 HM-7, R.3, MS63 NGC. Ex: SB Pulaski. The
Steam Boat Pulaski sank on June 14, 1838, about 30 miles off
the coast of North Carolina. The result of a boiler explosion, the
disaster claimed 128 lives. After 180 years underwater, the
wreckage was located in January 2018. The recovered treasure
included this Select Mint State 1836 half eagle that was less than
two years old when the ship was lost.There are nine half eagle die varieties dated 1836, and two of those, HM-6 and HM-7, represent half of the surviving population. These two varieties are ideal for date and type collectors. This Select Mint State piece has brilliant light yellow surfaces and frosty mint luster with excellent eye appeal. Population for all 1836 varieties: 16 in 63 (3 in 63+), 20 finer (4/20).
