Lot Description

1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-18. Rarity-1. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. The scarcity and consequent cost of the first year 1836 means that the 1837 is the only realistically obtainable type issue in the brief Capped Bust, Reeded Edge, 50 CENTS half dollar series as far as most collectors are concerned. Few Choice AUs that we have handled over the years are as richly and attractively original as this premium quality CAC-approved example. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II. PCGS# 6176.
