1837 Bust 50C NGC MS65
<b>1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. NGC graded MS65.</b> It is vital to put this handsome coin in its proper perspective. For decades until this issue, the mint struck coins on a hand-operated press. Then, beginning late in 1836 on the few reeded edge half dollars minted that year, and commencing full force with this 1837 date, the newly installed steam-operated press went into production. The result is what you see here: consistency of strike, standard &#34;rims&#34; with full denticles within, and full swirling luster effects. Designs are by the noted artist and Mint engraver &#40;soon to be Chief Engraver&#41;, Christian Gobrecht, whose fine pattern coins of 1836-39 often employ this capped bust head of Liberty <b>&#40;PCGS # 6176&#41;</b> <i>
