Lot Description

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Tied for the FINEST GR-7 graded by PCGS, this CHOICE Brilliant Uncirculated half dollar is a real delight to behold! The obverse is a swirling, blazing ball of luster, while a gentle coating of pale olive-gold color slightly subdues the rolling bands of cartwheel luster on the reverse. This is a popular variety where the die sinker used an inverted G in place of the C in AMERICA. The surfaces are smooth and clean, free of all but a single minor contact mark or two worthy of mention, neither of which are inappropriate for the assigned MS63 grade, nor do they affect the excellent overall eye appeal. PCGS 121, NGC 102. This is for the date, not the AMERIGA variety. A non-attributed MS64 sold in June 2018 and realized $7,800. We love the look of this one and it should delight any advanced collector of the short lived Reeded Edge series, issued just for 4 years, 1836-1839. Cert. Number 83949886 PCGS # 006176
