1836 50C PCGS MS63 (Reeded Edge) ex: D.L. Hansen

A lovely example of this key reeded edge half issue, marking the onset of the stream press for minting United States coinage. An estimated mintage of 5,000 pieces were struck, making it a challenging and historically significant issue. A vibrant oval of violet, blue, green, gold, and peach toning graces the obverse with similar coloration around the reverse clinging tightly to the rims. Elegant luster streams through the bold device details and lights up the brilliant tones. A truly mesmerizing piece to view in hand, this would make a great addition to any collection! - Capped Bust Half Dollar
