Here's a rarer gold coin of the Classic Head series. Classic Heads were only minted from 1834 thru 1839 and only in quarter eagle ($2.5) and half eagle ($5) denominations. This coin is a series first year minted in 1834. Its graded AU58 by NGC, but looking at it with a loupe I'm surprised it wasn't graded mint state. It has a sharp strike and retains nice luster. There are the typical bag chatter marks in the fields, but no significant marring. Asking $2400, shipped. I'll accept PP or a personal check (held until cleared).
