1834 Plain 4 NGC VF-30, and an 1836 VF details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Comparing the two, the 1836 clearly shows better sharpness than the 1834 that NGC called VF-30, which implies that the actual sharpness for the 1836 should be... |

1834 NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Courteous Collection of Early Type. The whole surface exhibits only modest glossy texture and induced reflectivity, which implies that the cleaning was just moderately aggressive. Considerable... |

1834 NGC AU-58.
|
|
Hints of ruby-gold touch the butterscotch fields and endow the coin with some nicer eye-appeal than usual for the type. Patchy hairlines that dart into and through the fields likely represent... |

1834 XF details/cleaned.
|
|
A little glossy from an old cleaning, but by no means is this quarter-eagle ugly. Sharp details will benefit a type collector who wants to maintain a small budget. A small dig in front of the... |

1834 NGC XF-40.

Ideal mustard-gold patina meshes with sharp details to produce a gorgeous quarter-eagle that makes an emphatic statement of quality for type purposes. A tiny dabble of greenish verdigris in the far... |

1834 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Tantalizing sharpness and strong semi-prooflike character almost impart the appearance of a specimen striking, but of course, such a fantasy is not reality. This is simply a really nicely produced... |

1834 VF.
|
|
Mustard-gold patina thoroughly tints the entire coin, and condenses just a little toward the rims to add a nice accent of khaki. This has the appearance of being a completely original early gold... |

1834 PCGS XF-45.

Obvious remnants of sparkling luster still twinkle brilliantly from between the stars, in direct contrast with handsome mustard-gold patina that dominates the fields and tones the entire reverse. The... |

1834 ANACS XF-45.

|
1834 "small head" AU details/cleaned.
|
|
Light hairlines suggest modest effort to clean the surfaces, but such action was not severe, and judging by reflectivity in protected areas, this was a somewhat prooflike example when it left the mint... |

1834 "large head" PCGS AU-55.
|
|
Being of softer metal, even early gold can be well struck, and this 1835 quarter-eagle displays very handsome detail, with prodigious sharpness especially apparent at each of the stars. Liberty's... |

1834 "small head" NGC MS-62.
|
|
Old and fairly harmless abrading of the fields has been overcome to considerable extent by recovery of royal-gold color against the rims. This provides a nicely framed appearance for each side, yet... |

1834 AU/very old cleaning.
|
|
Presently draped in pleasing yolk-gold tone, faint glossy texture suggests an old but unimportant cleaning that has recovered enough to possibly allow certification. Erratic hairlines above the eagle... |

1834 PCGS AU-55.
|
|
Moderate patina over corn-gold surfaces yields a decently original appearance, though the luster seems rather lacking for the grade. It is possible this coin was originally struck with some... |

1834 No Motto ANACS AU Details Cleaned, Net XF-45.
|
|
Fortunately, the ill effects of an old cleaning have been attenuated somewhat by the bronze color that has begun to re-emerge around the obverse rims. Some original mint luster persists in the... |

1834 No Motto ANACS AU-55 Details Cleaned.
|
|
It is probably fair to say that this early coin has been harshly cleaned, resulting in surfaces that gleam excessively. It may have been done in an effort to lessen the impact of a couple of... |

1834 Classic Head quarter-eagle Unc. Details.
|
|
A fairly thorough cleaning has imparted unnaturally prooflike fields mostly to the obverse, though the reverse did not entirely escape the jeweler's cloth. It is unfortunate, too, as the pleasing... |

1834 AU-50 Lightly Cleaned.

This Large or "Booby" head variety displays a dazzling yellow-gold aspect. Although it exhibits a trace of a delicate cleaning, smidgens of luster are present. Between the sixth and seventh stars an... |

1834 PCGS AU-50.

Classic bright gold reflects from the surfaces of this conservatively graded example. There is obvious luster still visible, but a nick above the Eagle is worth mentioning. Even so, this coin is... |
