Owner Comments:
HM-6, R-3. A substantial mintage of 553,147 Classic Head half eagles was produced in 1836, with nine different die varieties known for the date. Smooth satiny luster evenly coats both sides, each toned an ideal shade of medium yellow gold. Devices on obverse and reverse are nicely struck, lending further appeal to the supremely attractive and very frosty surfaces. The aesthetic impact is strong for the grade assigned, with few marks of consequence. Only a few light scattered lines are seen, and no contact marks are particularly important; the minor nick parallel to the bridge of Liberty's nose is the most individually notable. Purchased from Heritage.
