Lot Description

1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-23. Rarity-2. MS-61 (PCGS). A lustrous and attractive example with delicate champagne-apricot and powder blue iridescence drifting over both sides. Given the scarcity and key date status of the first year 1836, this appealing 1837 is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a Mint State type set that requires a representative of the brief Reeded Edge, 50 CENTS Capped Bust half dollar design. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
