Owner Comments:

CAC, HM-2, R-3+. The HM-2 die pairing is the most common of three die marriages known for this this year but 1837 had the lowest P-mint mintage in the Classic Head Half Eagle series. On this example the striking details are complete throughout. The mint luster is fulsome and shows a bright, frosted sheen. There are a few insignificant luster grazes on the obverse and a light alloy spot below the eagle's beak on the reverse. Purchased from Crescent City Numismatics.
