Lot 1462
1836 $2.50 Classic Head. Script 8. NGC graded AU-58. Breen-6143. Head of 1835. Nice golden toning with traces of reflective luster still evident. When attractively toned and lustrous, as here, the 1834-39 quarter eagle coinage is really grand. This has sharp stars and most of the hair curls crisply defined. Liberty's cheek is choice as well, barring only one or two slight circulation marks.
According to Breen, most of the gold for this years pouput of 547,986 coins came from melted old-tenor coins, part was from French Indemnity payments (PCGS # 7694) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.
