High-End MS63 1836 Half Eagle, McCloskey 3-C

1836 $5 MS63 NGC. CAC. Third Head, Breen-6510, McCloskey 3-C, R.2. The 3 in the date is high (about level with the 8 and 6) and the 6 is distant from the curl above. The date is widely spaced. On the reverse the horizontal width of the tip of the olive branch about covers the lateral distance from the center of the D in the denomination to the period following.
The frosty antique-gold surfaces of this piece show considerable luster, with a bold strike and a relative absence of singular abrasions for the Select Mint State grade. A small, raised die line runs from the reverse rim at 9 o'clock through the tops of TED and back to the rim above the eagle's wingtip at 10:30. A nice, high-end type coin for the assigned grade. Census: 27 in 63, 11 finer (7/08).(Registry values: P1)
