- Satiny Mint State 1836 Half Eagle 1836 Classic Head Half Eagle. HM-6. Rarity-3. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. Die Variety: HM-6. Obverse 5: On this obverse, there is a double forelock curl and the digit 6 in the date is slightly right of center below the lowest hair curl on Liberty's portrait. The letter R in LIBERTY is slightly high in the fillet and tilted right. Reverse I: The eagle has no tongue and large talons, the branch with a single berry at the end of a full stem. The end of the branch stem is centered over the letter D in the denomination, and the letter O in OF is somewhat large and lower than the adjacent F. Both of these dies appear in only one other pairing, the 1836 HM-7 for the obverse and the 1836 HM-8 for the reverse. Die Emission Sequence: The 1836 HM-6 was struck before the HM-7 and HM-8 varieties of this issue. Die State: Perfect dies. Estimated Surviving Population for the Variety: 370 coins in all grades (per Daryl J. Haynor, 2020), or 25% of extant 1836 Classic Head half eagles. Strike: Smartly impressed with nearly full striking detail throughout the design, this is an expertly produced Classic Head $5. Surfaces: Beautiful golden-apricot color blends with full satin to softly frosted surfaces. Impressively smooth in hand, this PQ example is very close to a Choice Mint State rating. Commentary: Readily obtainable in grades up to an including MS-63, at least by Classic Head gold coinage standards, the 1836 HM-6 is a popular variety for type purposes among collectors of both circulated and Mint State coins. This die pairing is extremely rare any finer, with the MS-64+ example listed in the PCGS Population Reportalone at CC#1 for these dies. The Virginian Collection specimen offered here is at the upper end of the assigned grade level and worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Daryl J. Haynor Virginian Collection. The plate coin for the 1836 HM-6 variety in the 2020 Haynor reference on Classic Gold coinage. PCGS Population (HM-6 attribution only): 1; 1 finer (MS-64+). PCGS# 765235. NGC ID: 25RY.
