Splendid Choice 1839 Bust Half

1839 50C MS64 PCGS. A nearly brilliant near-Gem that has an essentially pristine reverse. The obverse has only a few inconsequential grazes. The centers are fully struck, and the borders show occasional incompleteness. The half dollar was the last holdout of the John Reich Capped Bust design, since the lower denominations transitioned to the Seated design in 1837 or 1838. Population: 41 in 64, 6 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)
