Brilliant 1836 Reeded Edge Half, MS63

1836 50C Reeded Edge MS63 PCGS. The 1836 Reeded Edge half dollar is an important and scarce transitional issue with slightly modified design elements on both sides, and with a reeded edge rather than the usual lettered edge. It is also the first U.S. coinage issue that was struck with steam power .
A quick glance suggests a coin that is substantially finer than the grade suggests, and only close examination reveals the few minor marks that have limited the grade. Both sides a brilliant silver-white with faint traces of wispy champagne toning. The surfaces have frosty luster and the design elements have bold details. Population: 7 in 63, 3 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
