Description

Sharply Struck 1839 No Drapery Half Dollar, MS62
The Possibly Rare Cracked Reverse Variety

1839 50C No Drapery MS62 NGC. WB-101. This No Drapery offering displays the cracked reverse referred to by Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert in their Liberty Seated Half Dollars reference. Similarly, a short article about this cracked reverse variety written by Byron Powell in the March 1990 Gobrecht Journal (pp. 310-311) suggests that it could be "quite rare."
Luminous surfaces display golden-tan peripheral toning. A solid strike leaves sharp definition on the devices, an unusual attribute for the typically weak No Drapery variant. A few minute surface and rim marks limit the grade.(Registry values: N4719)
