1836 Classic Head Quarter Eagle, MS63
Script 8, Head of 1835, HM-4

1836 $2 1/2 Script 8, Head of 1835, HM-4, R.1, MS63 PCGS. Star 5 is close to Liberty's curl, there is a Script 8 in the date, and there is no berry on the branch, identifying the HM-4 variety. The HM-4 is an available issue in lower grades, but examples in MS63 condition are definitely elusive. This impressive Select example displays well-detailed design elements, with a touch of the usual softness on the centers. A die break travels from the rim, through star 5 and the headband, and into the hair. The orange-gold surfaces show the expected number of contact marks for the grade. Population (all Script 8 varieties): 42 in 63 (4 in 63+), 16 finer (5/21).
