Description

1840 50C Reverse of 1839 MS 62. This is a thickly toned, charcoal-gray example that reveals outlines of cobalt-blue iridescence around the reverse devices. The fields are moderately reflective, the strike is razor sharp, and both sides display a partial wire rim. This coin is not, however, a proof because the reeds do not go all the way cross the edge and the denticles are not sharp enough. An undeniably original half dollar.
