Incredible Matching 1836 Classic Head Gold Set


1836 P $2 1/2 Classic Head Gold Coin MS-63 PCGS

Beautiful and pristine Classic Head quarter eagle certified in choice mint state condition.  It’s hard to imagine how this coin could have survived the past 180 years in such a fine state of preservation.
It is our opinion that Classic Head Gold is quite undervalued at current levels.  The opportunity to own them in the higher mint state grades doesn’t come along often.  This would make a fantastic pair to the 1836 $5 we acquired, giving the owner of both coins a complete set of 1836 U.S. Gold!

1836 P $5 Classic Head Gold Coin MS-63 PCGS 

Highly unusual to see Classic Head $5’s in such a high state of preservation.  Remember, in 1836 the only denominations of Gold produced were $2 ½’s and $5’s.  Because of this, both denominations  were heavily circulated and this most often encountered in XF-AU grades. 
This is a perfect match to the 1836 $2 ½ we currently own, also in MS-63, and would give the owner a complete date set of 1836 Gold in MS-63 condition!
