Description
Pleasing 1836 Lettered Edge Half, O-121
High R.5
1836 50C Lettered Edge Genuine PCGS. O-121, High R.5. Ex:
Witham. The PCGS number ending in 91 suggests Questionable Color as
the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this
coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an
AU specimen that has been cleaned. Star 8 is recut, and a tiny
"bar-dot" appears right of the date, as on O-120. The reverse has
the sharply curved 5 with pointed top, while a horizontal crossbar
extends a "fine line into right wing." We feel that PCGS was
perhaps unduly harsh on this piece, and in any case it generates
much appeal. Areas of blue and brown alternate with silvery device
outlines. A sharply struck and pleasing piece.From The Witham Collection of Capped Bust Half Dollars.
