1837 Classic Head Five, MS62
Scarce and CAC Endorsed

1837 $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Breen-6512, McCloskey 2-B, R.2. Large Date, Block 8. Most type coin collectors settle for an 1834 Plain 4 or 1836 Classic Head half eagle due to the availability of those issues in Mint State. The 1837 is scarce this fine, and it is a rarity in higher grades. The present coin boasts the coveted CAC endorsement. Frosty original luster illuminates original yellow-gold surfaces and shows no major abrasions. Star 1 on the obverse exhibits the only mentionable strike weakness. Population: 12 in 62 (1 in 62+), 17 finer. CAC: 6 in 62, 9 finer (9/18).
