1837 50C MS64 PCGS. The Reeded Edge half dollars with
<B>1837 50C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> The Reeded Edge half dollars with "50 CENTS" on the reverse were the first U.S. regular-issue coin series struck on a steam press. A paltry 1,200 pieces were struck the first year (1836), and a more generous 3,629,820 coins in 1837, making this issue an important and desirable one for type collectors. The near-Gem in this lot is a most impressive specimen, as its original surfaces give off glowing luster and medium intensity blue-gray toning. The design elements are evenly and sharply struck, enhancing the coin's outstanding eye appeal. A few unobtrusive handling marks do not detract in the least.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
