Description
Impressive Gem 1837 Reeded Edge Half Dollar
1837 50C MS65 PCGS. CAC. All Reeded Edge half dollars were
struck on steam-powered presses, using close collar technology that
made the old lettered edge design obsolete. In 1837, the second
year of the Reeded Edge design, a large mintage of 3.6 million half
dollars was accomplished, making this date much more available than
the scarce 1836 issue. The following year, the denomination on the
reverse was changed from 50 CENTS to HALF DOL., creating a two-year
type coin. The 1837 date is conditionally rare, with specimens
above the Gem level seldom encountered.The present coin is sharply struck with crisp detail on the central devices. Some slight weakness is seen on the upper stars. Spectacular luster shines through the multiple layers of iridescent toning, with gray-blue centers that yield to gold at the rims. Overall eye appeal is excellent. Population: 17 in 65, 7 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
