<B>1836 50C Reeded Edge AU58 NGC.</B></I> The modified design from Mint Engraver Christian Gobrecht and the denomination, spelled out as 50 CENTS, signal this radical departure for Mint technology: the first coins struck on the Mint's new steam-powered presses. The reported mintage was a scant 1,200 half dollars. This example offers auburn-gold-toned surfaces with just a touch of highpoint friction separating the piece from Mint State, barely so. There is scant evidence of post-strike contact, however. A popular and elusive type coin in all grades. Census: 37 in 58, 30 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
