<B>1837<H10C> Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS66 NGC.</B></I> This piece shows pronounced repunching at the bottom of the digits of the date. Struck for only two years, the No Stars half dimes and dimes come the closest to Christian Gobrecht's initial concept of a seated figure of Liberty based on the Britannia model from England. The composition has a medal-like appearance without the stars and is truly one of the most attractive of all U.S. coin designs. Like most 1837 half dimes, this piece is fully struck. The surfaces are wonderfully preserved and generally brilliant with just the slightest accent of golden color present around the margins. An exceptional type coin.
