Description
1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar, MS62
Historic Steam Press Issue, GR-1
1836 50C Reeded Edge, GR-1, R.2, MS62 PCGS. CAC. Dusky
silver-gray toning embraces this coruscating and unworn example.
The strike is full and the fields display only minor marks. The
obverse rim is wider than the reverse rim. The reeded edge 1836
half dollar is famous as the first variety of its denomination to
be coined by the Mint's recently installed steam press. The mintage
is traditionally listed as 1,200 pieces, but the number of
survivors (typically in Fine to AU grades) suggests that the actual
production was much larger. Nonetheless, the variety is both
popular and historic, and seldom encountered in Uncirculated
condition. Population: 12 in 62, 13 finer (11/15).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U28, Variety PCGS# 531046, Base PCGS# 6175)
Weight: 13.36 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Cooper
