Lot 287
1837. NGC graded MS-66. Boldly struck with each of Liberty's curls full and bold, as well as all of the eagle's feathers. A lovely type coin with golden-russet toning on both sides and near perfect surfaces It would be hard to imagine a finer example, and its quite enjoyable to study the surfaces of this one as they are so perfectly preserved. This type coin, issued only in the closing months of 1836 and 1837 with 50 CENTS below the eagle is a short-lived type issue. Furthermore not many are known at the gem or finer grade level like the present piece. Here is a most extraordinary coin! Pop 7; 5 finer, 1 in 66 Star, 1 in 66+, 3 in 67. Estimated Value $16,000 - UP
