Description: The final year of this "50 CENTS" reverse variety. Its lustrous surfaces display a blend of exquisite hues of deep orange and blue that copiously blanket this sharply struck issue. Minimal marks are observed.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $475.00
High Estimate: $600.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

1837, 1838, and 1839, all circulated.

1837 NGC AU-58.

1837 AU details/cleaned.

1837 XF details/cleaned, 1837 AU details/cleaned, and 1839 AU...

556The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,200.00
1837 NGC MS-62.
Perhaps only a couple too many marks on the obverse deprive a fully choice MS-63 grade, but in terms of detail, luster and steely platinum-tan originality, this is an attractive reeded-edge half,...

1837 NGC AU-58.
Without question, this reeded-edge half has all the appearance of an uncirculated coin, bearing a full complement of cartwheel luster in the fields and highly brilliant surfaces that shine. Just very...
770The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$450.00
1837 NGC AU-58.
Leaden, dusky golden-grey patina subdues most remaining luster, leaving little cartwheel effect and requiring grade assessment by remaining detail. Fortunately, despite some spidery die cracks from...
