1836 Classic Head Quarter Eagle. HM-4. Rarity-1. Head of 1835, Script 8, No Berry. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. <strong>Die Variety:</strong> HM-4. Obverse 4: Head of 1835 with Libertys nose and forehead curved, the hair curls along the back of the head in a nearly straight line with only a single shallow indentation near the bottom. Script 8 in the date. HM-4 represents one of three uses of this obverse die. Reverse E: The only reverse of the issue with no berry in the branch. The workhorse Reverse E appears in a total of four die pairings across two dates: 1835 HM-3, 1836 HM-3, 1836 HM-4 and 1836 HM-7, although not in that order.<p><strong>Die Emission Sequence: </strong>This die pairing represents the first use of Reverse E, examples struck prior to the 1835 HM-3 variety that uses the same reverse. It was likely among the earlier quarter eagle varieties struck during calendar year 1836.<p><strong>Die State: </strong>As described in our (Bowers and Merenas) Bass IV catalog of November 2000: "The present example is a very early die state with a faint crack from star 6 to the headband, continuing to the right field, almost to star 12. This crack is usually much heavier with small lumps between star 6 and the forehead." The reverse exhibits only the very beginning of a crack at the bases of the letters AT in STATES.<p><strong>Estimated Surviving Population for the Variety:</strong> 1,100 coins in all grades (per Daryl J. Haynor, 2020), or 49% of extant 1836 Classic Head quarter eagles.<p><strong>Strike: </strong>The central obverse definition is soft, a marked contrast with the beautifully struck periphery and wire rim. The reverse is similarly struck with a touch of softness at the junction of the shield and the eagles right wing and leg, the detail sharp to full elsewhere. This pattern of strike is quite common on early date Classic Head quarter eagles and points to persistent die spacing issues on the part of Mint personnel during the first few years this type was in production.<p><strong>Surfaces: </strong>An incredibly beautiful Gem, both sides displaying satiny luster, mellowed to deep golden-yellow, highlighted with exceptionally attractive coppery toning. The surfaces are pristine, completely free of contact marks and showing remarkably few lines. The surfaces truly look as though they were just minted. <p><strong>Commentary: </strong>This variety shows the so-called Head of 1835, an obverse hub that was likely among the first executed by Christian Gobrecht after his hiring as a full time engraver in August 1835. Already a highly regarded engraver in Philadelphia, the seat of the American metalworking industry, Gobrechts salary upon being hired was higher than that of his putative boss, the stroke-incapacitated William Kneass. Within a few years, Gobrecht would redesign every American denomination, and today his designs are favorites among collectors.<p>The die variety of choice for collectors seeking a single 1836 quarter eagle for inclusion in a date set, HM-4 also holds tremendous appeal for type purposes. Quality conscious buyers in both categories need to temper their expectations, however, for the 1836 as an issue is very scarce in MS-64 and rare any finer. Tied with one other PCGS MS-65+ as CC#2 for the date, this premium Gem specimen was called "by far the finest we have seen" in 1970 by Lester Merkin, who continued to write that this piece "outclasses the usually offered Uncirculated run of this design by many points." Supremely attractive and technically choice, the sort of coin that makes the few collectors who already own high grade examples jump at the chance to upgrade. PCGS# 764698. NGC ID: 25FU. PCGS Population (all die varieties of the issue): 2; with a single MS-66 finer.<p>CAC Population: 2; 0. The former total includes coins certified both MS-65 and MS-65+. From the Daryl J. Haynor Virginian Collection. Earlier from Lester Merkins sale of April 1970, lot 655; our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part IV, November 2000, lot 120; our (in conjunction with Sothebys) sale of the D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part II, September 2015, lot 2016, via Legend Numismatics. The plate coin for the 1836 HM-4 variety in the 2020 Haynor reference on Classic Gold coinage.
