1835. NGC graded MS-62. A rare mint state example of the Classic head quarter eagle, this one retains prooflike fields and minimal handling marks. The central areas are not all that well struck, with softness on the upper curls of Liberty and similar weakness on the shield and leg of the eagle, but the wings and stars are all sharp. Flashy enough to be appealing, and yet not so high a grade as to break the bank. Perfect for the type collector.
Estimated Value $2,500-3,000.
