1836 Script 8 $2.50 PCGS AU58

While common enough in scrubbed-up AU grades, a choice, original AU58 example of the 1836 quarter eagle is not an easy coin to find. This piece is as fresh as these come with dusky russet-gold colors on the obverse and reverse. Weakness of strike is seen at the centers and this is typical for the issue. To find a better example of this date (or type) you'd have to step up to the MS61 level and spend more than twice the price of this piece.
