Description

Radiant 1835 Classic Quarter Eagle, MS63

1835 $2 1/2 MS63 PCGS. McCloskey-1, R.2. The only readily collectible die variety for this issue, plainly distinguished by the gap between the first A and M of AMERICA; the other two are rare. Though the present coin shows significant striking weakness at Liberty's central curls and the upper left corner of the eagle's shield, the details elsewhere are sharp. Yellow-gold surfaces offer considerable radiance with only scattered, wispy field abrasions to account for the grade. A high-end example for the series enthusiast with an eye for surface quality. Population: 8 in 63, 4 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P1)

Metal: 89.92% Gold, 10.08% Copper
