Highly Lustrous 1838 Half Dollar, MS64
1838 50C MS64 NGC. This short-lived type was struck on the newly installed steam press beginning in 1836. The wording of the denomination was changed in 1838 from 50 CENTS to HALF DOL. The extremely lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem display glimpses of gold. Both sides are well struck and reveal a few minor grade-defining marks. Some parallel planchet striations are visible at the borders. This lovely example is well suited to a high grade type set.
