1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-9. Rarity-1.

1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-9. Rarity-1. AU-55 (NGC). Deep slate-toned peripheries contrast boldly with the antique-silver centers of this relatively smooth AU example. Under a bright light and at direct angles, iridescent gold, sea-green, and cobalt come into view. This is another variety for which prominent die cracks make attribution relatively easy, and both dies are unique to the pairing. A significant crack spans nearly the entire reverse periphery, but the easiest pickup point is on the obverse, where a curving crack begins at star 4, crosses Liberty's cap, and ends at star 9. This is a late die state example, with the recutting on the 7 far less pronounced than on earlier die state coins. Graham assigned GR-9 a Rarity-1 rating in 2012, describing it as "very common," while Koenings assigned it Rarity-2 in his 2024 census. Jim Koenings Commentary: Graham's 2012 Condition Census showed 10 specimens ranging from MS-67 to MS-64. My 2024 census reported 10 specimens ranging from MS-65 to AU-55. Obviously this is a very common die marriage. Provenance: From the Jim Koenings Collection. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4. Click here for certification details from NGC.
