(About The Images)
1836 NGC AU-53. 1836 NGC AU-53.
Lot Title: 1836 NGC AU-53.
Description: Aluminum-grey patina traverses virtually the entire coin and capitulates to a delicate, thin crescent of honey-tan at the upper and lower rim on both sides. One must look carefully to discern mint luster, but mildly sparkling remnants flash between peripheral devices if the coin is tilted just right. Tiny contact marks only make up the bulk of "distractions", as this coin overall features surfaces unusually free from major marks. (PCGS# 006175)

1836 VF details/reverse damage.

1836 XF/cleaned/rim damage.
Undoubtedly the scarcest coin unearthed by the Merten brothers was this 1836 reeded edge half-dollar, inaugural issue of the type. Evidence of more than a century spent in the ground is indicated by...

1836 XF.
CONSIGNOR: These reeded edge 1836 coins are fascinating to me, rare, and most people probably wouldn't crack theirs out. It's funny how the mint was going with new technology, but they wanted to keep...

1836 AU/questionable color.
