Description

Richly Toned 1837 Capped Bust, Reeded
Edge Half Dollar, MS65, JR-27

1837 50C MS65 NGC. JR-27. Identifiable as a JR-27 from Jules Reiver's 1988 Variety Identification Manual for United States Reeded Edge Half Dollars, 1836-1839. The reverse most clearly confirms this, showing three engraver's scratches down to the right between the D of UNITED and the S of STATES, a die scratch up to the left from the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing, and a horizontal scratch from the left top corner of the shield to the wing below the top. To Reiver's attributions, we would add several die scratches through 50. On the obverse, the 8 and 3 of the date are relatively close, and there are lines up to the left from the lips and upper chin. Some other lines and lumps Reiver described are not discernible on the present coin.
Vivid yellow-gold, cobalt-blue, and lavender toning encircles the obverse border, framing the golden-tan central area. The same peripheral color pattern occurs on the reverse, but the center takes on deeper lavender and golden-brown undertones. Pleasing luster adorns both sides, and a sharp strike results in excellent detail on the design features, including strong dentilation. Close inspection with a loupe reveals just a few minor obverse handling marks, none worthy of individual mention. A truly attractive Gem in all respects. Census: 43 in 65, 12 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
