926 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $425.00 |
1836 VF details/cleaned.
|
Not horribly cleaned, since each face shows only delicate hairlines, but some deeper gold color would be beneficial. Minor circulation marks strewn through the fields have smoothed down while the... |

927 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $600.00 |
1836 XF.

1836 NGC XF-40.
|

1836 NGC MS-60.
|
Classic Head gold is often touted as a relatively available type, and that is true up to the AU grade levels. MS-60 is the point at which nicer examples begin to become expensive, although the... |

1836 AU/polished.
|
Some bidders may find use of the term "polished" a bit strong for a gold coin that looks as decent as this one does, but the fields do display a bit of reflectivity that seems unnatural, particularly... |

840 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $800.00 |
1836 large date. XF.
|
Meaningful traces of luster flash through the edge of the fields and pronounce a level of preservation not far from AU, and strong details narrow refined the grade to XF-45. Plenty of vintage patina... |
|
1026 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $550.00 |
1836 PCGS Genuine.
|
PCGS Genuine-92 indicates "cleaning", and that is an accurate assessment of some parallel horizontal lines most noticeable in the obverse right field. It's quite likely this is merely incidental... |
|
902 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $675.00 |
1836 PCGS XF-45.

McCloskey obverse die 6 is a "shattered die", instantly recognizable by the three-way die crack that extends from the center to the third star, to the "3" in the date, and through "E" of LIBERTY. ... |

993 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $600.00 |
1836 XF, lightly cleaned.
|
Areas of honey-gold patina overlay lighter fields that have had just a limited amount of original patina removed from a very mild cleaning. To many collectors, this coin will face up as an original... |

1836 XF.
|
This handsome type specimen was encapsulated in an older style PCGS green holder with an assigned grade level of XF-45. An orange opulence enhances this issue's resplendent gold surfaces. The minute... |

1836 NGC AU-58.
|
Canary-gold surfaces hint at a possible dip, but this coin displays abundant cartwheel luster. The strike is not full, yet each star manifests good definition, with most being sharply detailed. |

1016 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $315.00 |
1836 XF, Cleaned.
|
Not dramatically cleaned, although disorganized hairlines crisscross various areas of the obverse, and the reverse has a “scrubby” appearance. Certainly too light in color to pass as an original... |
|

1836 McCloskey 6E, Block 8. AU-50 Cleaned.
