1838 NGC MS-61.
|
|
7070 Collection. Each side looks remarkably free from contact for just the MS-61 grade, though the eye immediately perceives luster mildly muted by a fragile layer of magenta-grey and golden patina... |

1838 AU details/apparently whizzed and retoned.
|
|
Deceptive luster is all the more realistic after being cleverly toned down with slate-grey patina. A scratch across the bust is rather minor. |

1838 NGC MS-61.
|
|
Murky patina completely dominates the surfaces, and inhibits underlying luster to significant extent. Some rub on Liberty's upper cheek may be deemed "cabinet friction", with the only other signs of... |

|
1838 PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Dusky powder-grey patina is settled evenly across both sides, and gathers a bit at the end of Liberty's bust. Although luster is mildly inhibited by the patina, in no way is sharpness affected, since... |

1838 PCGS XF-45.
|
|
Surprisingly potent luster prowls beneath steely-tan patina, and the obverse very nearly faces up as fully AU. However, morsels of very dark patina are dashed about the outer reverse areas and... |

1838 MS-62.

CONSIGNOR: You knew this one was coming out [of the NGC holder]. Wow, looks like a gem, doesn't it? I always thought they way undergraded this one. CATALOGER: Still another sensational half with... |

Two 1838.
|
|
Although similarly cleaned, each of these halves have retoned somewhat differently from each other. The first coin has AU-50 details, and judging by the slightly granular surfaces, it has likely been... |

1838 NGC MS-60.
|

This particular specimen is from the first year of issue for this two-year only variety. The words "HALF DOL." supersede "50 CENTS" for the denomination designation. This brilliant lustrous piece is... |

|
1838 AU-58.
|

Hardly any rub is visible, but only trace luster remains around some protected areas. Light russet toning is visible in areas, and there is a toning streak on the reverse. |

1838 AU.
|
|
An upper-end AU with uncirculated-like detail. The marks in the field, and lack of luster on the surfaces, are both consistent with AU-55+. |

1838 MS-62.

A magnificent, eye appealing example from this short-lived two-year variety. It is imbued with deep hues of blue and mauve on the obverse, and vivid blue over rich russet-gold on the reverse. Some... |
