1837 GR-23 Half Dollar, MS65
Splendidly Toned, Ideal Type Coin

1837 50C GR-23, R.2, MS65 PCGS. A radial die crack from the rim to the outer point of star 10 is seen under a loupe, and a series of "beard" clash marks below Liberty's chin are diagnostic for GR-23. This lustrous and well-preserved Bust half displays splendid toning. The blue-green borders and golden-brown interiors are reminiscent of silver coins long stored in Wayte Raymond holders. GR-23 is a readily available die pair, although it seldom exceeds the Choice Uncirculated grade. Gem Mint State examples are scarce in the Reeded Edge series regardless of date or variety. This example is sharply struck at the centers, although as usual for the variety the right-side stars show weakness -- a characteristic easily forgiven based on the tremendous eye appeal.
