Lot Description

1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-9. Rarity-1. MS-61 (PCGS). Here is a superior Mint State example of this brief design type from the final years of the popular Capped Bust half dollar series. Otherwise brilliant, the satiny surfaces exhibit subtle reddish-gold iridescence around the peripheries. Sharply defined in the centers with much to recommend it to the discerning numismatist. Provenance: Acquired from Lester Merkin at $115, date not recorded. Company tag included. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
