1836 $2.50 Classic Head Gold Quarter Eagle AU-58 NGC (Script 8)
This 1836 gold quarter eagle represents a fascinating era in early American gold coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint without a mint mark, this coin features the celebrated Classic Head design. A total of 547,986 of these pieces were minted in 1836, but this specific specimen is distinguished by a notable variety featuring a script style number eight in the date. Crafted from 0.8992 fine gold, the coin contains 0.1209 troy ounces of precious metal. It has survived the generations in remarkable condition, certified by professional graders as About Uncirculated 58 (AU-58). The preservation of such high-grade details offers a wonderful window into the artistry of the United States Mint during the 1830s.
