Description
1838 Half Dollar, GR-1, MS65
Lustrous Reeded Edge Issue
Spectacular Die Cracks
1838 50C GR-1, R.3, MS65 PCGS. The Graham-1 die pairing is
immediately identified at a glance when the spectacular obverse and
reverse die cracks are observed. The obverse has an arcing die
crack from the rim just below the top left star, through Liberty's
eyelid, hair curls, the T in LIBERTY, and the upper right obverse
field, to the top star on the right. The reverse has a crack
through the T of UNITED, the left wing and top arrow feather, to
the border between the O and L in DOL. A branch extends up through
the vertical and horizontal shield lines and the right wing, to the
border between the R and I of AMERICA.As usual for the variety, this piece has a bold strike despite the die cracks. Both sides exhibit effulgent silver luster and delicate gold toning. While a few trivial, grade-consistent marks are noted, the eye appeal is exceptional. Population: 9 in 65, 2 finer (3/17).
