Description
Dazzling 1838 Reeded Edge Half, MS66
1838 50C MS66 NGC. There are several components that go into the grade opinion of any given coin, including strike, luster, surface preservation, and toning. And on any given coin there is one element that immediately captures the viewer's attention more than any other. On this remarkable piece it is the luster. Bright, thick, and frosted, it is almost easy to overlook the fullness of strike and remarkably clean surfaces that also go into the makeup of the grade of this extraordinary type coin. Brilliant throughout except for a few almost imperceptible flecks of color that can be seen around stars 7, 8, and 9. A dazzling, near-perfectly preserved example of this short-lived type. Census: 5 in 66, 1 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
