Description
Near-Gem 1837 Reeded Edge Half
1837 50C MS64 NGC. In 1836, the conversion to the steam coining press replaced the obsolete lettered edge with a reeded edge. But the 1836 Reeded Edge had a very low mintage, and the 1837 is the most available date for the two year 50 CENTS type. Well struck in the centers, some typical weakness is noted on the peripheral devices, and pronounced die cracks circle the borders. The light gray patina does not obscure the underlying luster.Ex: Zerbe Collection (Heritage, 7/2003), lot 7516; Fred Miller Collection (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 5817, which realized $3,405.(Registry values: N2998)
