***Auction Highlight*** 1838-p McCloskey-1 Classic Head Quarter Eagle Gold 2.5 Graded xf+ By USCG. Up for Auction is a Scarce Classic Head Gold Quarter Eagle. Per PCGS, only 400 examples survive in all grades. This nice near AU example has great detail for the grade, some original mint luster remains in the protected areas. Once again, there is a different head of Liberty on the 1838 quarter eagle than there is on the preceding years of this type; it is somewhat similar to the 1834 large head. Strictly uncirculated specimens are very rare. This style head appears only on the 1838, although the head on the 1839/8 is virtually the same with only a few minor differences. The stars are noticeably smaller on the 1838 than they are on preceding issues of this type. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
