1835 Quarter Eagle, Bright MS63

1835 $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. Breen-6141, Variety 6, R.2. Ex: Hilt Collection. A widely spaced AM in AMERICA identifies this distinctive Classic Head die marriage. The 1835 quarter eagle, from a mintage exceeding 131,000 pieces, has a relatively low certified population number of 145 pieces. The bright yellow-gold surfaces of this Select example display partially prooflike fields when the coin is tilted under a light source, especially on the reverse. The design elements are well-struck except for the usual softness in the hair over Liberty's ear. Census: 14 in 63, 7 finer (11/14).
