Description du lot

This is a great, collector oriented grade 1836 Reeded Edge half dollar. Only 1,200 were struck, after the mint installed the new steam powered press, which allowed half dollars to be struck with a close collar. The present example shows only the slightest friction over the surfaces, retaining hints of luster under the delicate original toning. Sharply struck up, the devices show wonderful definition. Very pleasing in terms of eye appeal, this wonderful KEY Bust half dollar will delight any collector. PCGS 35, NGC 24, CAC 6. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $4,320 in November 2019, and prior to that, we sold an NGC AU55 CAC for $5,170. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,000 and the CAC CPG value is $6,120. CAC coins are very difficult to find in any grade, and are rare any finer! Cert. Number 38116315 PCGS # 6175.00
