Description

1836 Classic Five Dollar, Semiprooflike MS63
Second Head, Large Date

1836 $5 MS63 NGC. Second Head, Large Date, Breen-6509, McCloskey 4-C, R.3. Characterized by the large 1 in the date, the 6 relatively distant from the lowest hair curl, and the D in the denomination about halfway left under the stem tip. The 1836 is one of the more frequently encountered early dates in this short, completable series. However, better-grade Uncirculated examples, such as this one, are difficult to locate. This is a lovely coin. The yellow-gold surfaces have a light accent of reddish patina around the margins on each side. What is unusual, in addition to the high grade, are the semireflective fields. This is often seen on 1834 fives, but seldom on later dates. Census: 24 in 63, 10 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P1)
