Reeded Edge Half Dollars
1837 50C GR-15, R.3, MS64 NGC. A fairly scarce die variety interesting for its four cracks on the lower right obverse. A lustrous golden near-Gem. Well-struck and uncommonly smooth. A railroad rim is present on the right obverse, likely caused by a slightly misaligned obverse die. 1837 is the only readily collectible issue of the two-year 50 CENTS type, struck with a steam-powered press instead of the screw press used in prior years.
Ex: Beverly Hills Signature (Heritage, 11/2014), lot 3725.
