Description

1838 50C MS64 PCGS. This short-lived type was redesigned and 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. to conform to the quarters and silver dollars. This is a sharply defined example that has smooth, satiny mint luster, and each side has a bit of light golden-brown toning. A lovely, problem-free example. Population: 42 in 64, 8 finer (3/09).
