Reeded Edge Half Dollars
1839-O 50C GR-1, R.1 -- Altered Surfaces -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. A late die state of the series-ending New Orleans issue that features the always-popular obverse mintmark. This is a stone-gray example with traces of luster that remain beneath slightly subdued surfaces that are noted as Altered, with perhaps some well-hidden smoothing and recoloring present. A shallow rim bump at 12 o'clock on the reverse is noted. Struck from the GR-1 die pair, which accounts for up to 95% of all surviving 1839-O halves. Numerous die cracks encircle the margins on both sides.
