1836. ANACS graded AU-58. Basically untoned and decidedly lustrous. In 1836, the big news of the day was President Andrew Jackson's political war on the Second Bank of the United States. He refused to sign the renewal of its charter and the bank went into decline before foldiing in 1840. The year before this half eagle was made, and the only time in its history, the American government under the same Pres. Jackson, paid off the national debt. Perhaps this is why many modern politicians consider Jackson a crank and a looney.
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
