- 1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. MS-62 (NGC). These were the first coins struck on the new steam driven coining press that finally went into operation at the Philadelphia Mint in 1836. The mintage was obviously modest, as there are perhaps 400 to 500 of these around today in all grades. Mint State examples are highly coveted by collectors as they represent an historical milestone into modern coin production that had eluded the Philadelphia Mint for decades as the machinery and equipment was simply not available at that time in America.<br />
<br />
This 1836 Reeded Edge half dollar displays classic gunmetal-gray toning with lilac accents on both sides. The strike is sharp with full curls on Liberty and with the eagle showing all his minute feathers. The surfaces are free of all but minor signs of handling and the eye appeal is high for the assigned grade. An attractive example of this historic coin.
