Description
1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar, VF35
GR-1, First Issue Struck by a Steam Press
1836 50C Reeded Edge, GR-1, R.2, VF35 PCGS. The 1836 Reeded
Edge is famous for two things. It was the first half dollar issue
struck by the recently installed steam press, which replaced the
screw presses in use since 1793. It also has an enticingly low
reported mintage of 1,200 pieces. The actual production was likely
higher, but there is no denying that the variety is much scarcer
than the lettered edge 1836 half. Many survivors are cleaned or
have other problems, but this is an unblemished cream-gray Choice
VF representative with ample remaining detail within the eagle's
wings and shield.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U28, Variety PCGS# 531046, Base PCGS# 6175)
Weight: 13.36 grams
