Description

1839 50C MS66 NGC. Reeded Edge half dollars are a difficult type to locate in high grade, and it seems they are forever fated to be an overlooked type coin. This is a sharp example that is moderately toned throughout with green-gray shades over most of the obverse. The reverse exhibits mottled gray-green and rose shadings. The underlying surfaces have a bright, satin-like sheen and are nearly flawless. Crisply defined throughout including the lowest stars on the obverse that are often flat. To date (3/09), this is the single finest 1839 Capped Bust half dollar thus far certified by NGC, and is tied with one at PCGS as the finest known.
