Sharply Impressed 1836 Lettered Edge Half Dollar
O-113, MS64

1836 50C Lettered Edge MS64 PCGS. O-113, R.2. The inner points of the first four stars are recut, the drapery clasp has a double outline, a center dot is located between crossbars 4 and 5, and the left side of second T in STATES and the right side of I in PLURIBUS are nearly in line. A faint crack from the rim progresses upward through star 12 past star 11 and terminates in the upper ribbon. There is also a faint crack in the drapery at the end of the bust. These light, incomplete cracks indicate an intermediate state between O-113 and O-113a. Soft silver-gray patina occupies lustrous surfaces on both sides of this near-Gem. The design elements are sharply struck and well centered on the planchet. A few unobtrusive handling marks prevent Gem status. Population for the date: 55 in 64, 14 finer (3/09).
