Description
Pleasing 1837 Capped Bust, Reeded Edge Half, MS63
1837 50C MS63 PCGS. The Capped Bust, Reeded Edge half dollar design was adopted in 1836, when the new steam-powered presses and the close collar made the old lettered edge design obsolete. The reverse design was modified in 1838 to express the denomination as HALF DOL., making the half dollars of 1836 and 1837 a two-year type design. The 1837 half dollar is the more available date by far, by virtue of its 3.6 million piece mintage, making it the first choice for type collectors.The present coin is a pleasing specimen, well struck and highly lustrous, with an attractive satiny sheen across both sides. The surfaces are essentially untoned over the silver-gray fields and centers, with slight hints of golden color at the peripheries. A handful of mild handling marks are consistent with the grade. Population: 88 in 63, 90 finer (2/09).
