Description
1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar, GR-1, MS64
First Issue Struck Using the Steam Press
1836 50C Reeded Edge, GR-1, R.2, MS64 PCGS. The Thonnelier
steam press was installed at the Philadelphia Mint in 1836, and
used to coin a few copper medalets early in that year. The
modified-design Capped Bust, Reeded Edge half dollars were among
the first regular-issue coins struck using the new technology. This
Choice Mint State half dollar ranks high on the list of known
survivors from a limited mintage traditionally given as 1,200
coins. Both sides have mottled gold and violet-gray toning with
iridescent accents of blue, green, and rose. Softly frosted mint
luster shines through the original patina. The relief elements are
well-detailed but display incompleteness over the hair curls, lower
stars, and the eagle's left wing feathers. This lovely near-Gem
presents the advanced specialist with the chance to acquire one of
the finest examples of this low-mintage key date issue. Population:
7 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (11/16).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U28, Variety PCGS# 531046, Base PCGS# 6175)
Weight: 13.36 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Cooper
