1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-4. Rarity-3.

1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-4. Rarity-3. MS-61 (PCGS). A pleasing Mint State example, with golden surfaces accented by mottled cobalt iridescence on both sides, while the central reverse displays a brighter silver-gray appearance. Several quirky features distinguish this variety, perhaps most noticeably the fore curl of Liberty's hair, which does not touch her forehead. Also interesting is the defective top of the E in UNITED on the reverse. This is a Middle Die State and a Condition Census example according to both Graham's reference and Koenings' 2024 census. In his revised December 2024 rarity ratings, Koenings assigned GR-4 a Rarity-4+ rating, compared with Graham's earlier Rarity-3 assessment. Jim Koenings Commentary: I ranked this die marriage as 12th rarest in my December 2024 revised rarity rating. 1837 GR-4 is now rated as R-4+ (80 to 120 known). To find early, middle, and late die state examples of each would be a major accomplishment. Provenance: From the Jim Koenings Collection. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4.
