Classic Half Eagles
1836 $5 AU55 NGC. Breen-6509, McCloskey 2-A, R.4. Second Head, Large Date. Lengthy die cracks through the eagle's neck and the T in LIBERTY confirm this scarcer die pairing. A lightly abraded example with rich golden-brown toning in protected areas. The curls display light wear but the strike is generally sharp. Doubling on LIBERTY and repunching on the D in 5 D add interest to the variety.
