One of my favorite white coins.

And in an NGC holder! Care to guess the grade? No cheating!

 

[jgrinz]

MS66 would be a guess ... Dont know the series Though

 

But knowing your reputation its probably a 67/68

[BillJones]

I'd say MS-66.

 

It's a super strike for the type. The 1837 Reeded Edge half dollars usually had almost no rim on the reverse. For that reason I don't think that these coins would have fared well after heavy circulation. I think that was reason for the design change in 1838. This peice has got a sharp rim all the way around.

 

The reason I didn't grade it higher is because I do see a couple "carbon spots" on the reverse that would limit the grade to that IMO.

dang. Nice strike and die cracks.

 

Hard to guess from such small pics (hint hint) but I will go with the 66 grade.

[Tradedollarnut]

I'll post a bigger version on Monday.

[DJCoinz]

Nice coin TDN. I'm gonna say MS67.

[MunkyMan95]

A very nice MS66. I could see it in a 67 slab, but I'll say it's currently graded MS66.

This coin has significant flash. (thumbs u

I won't hazard a grade from those pics, so I'll just give it a "sexy".

[MarkFeld]

I look forward to the larger/better images. In the mean time, however, since MS66 seems too easy, I'll go with MS67 as my guess.

I will throw a 67 at her because the luster gives her that real pop needed to push the coin up the scale.

What a beautiful coin that could be one of the most eye appealing for this short series.

[jtryka]

I'd guess MS-66, but I am no expert on RE halves. Very sharp coin though!

[rrantique]

Amazing MS-67 . The luster makes it. (thumbs u

[rexcat]

Wow!! How could it be any better? So MS67??

[physics-fan3.14]

I like it very much at 66, but that luster is absolutely amazing!

[Bruceswar]

MS 67 all the way!

MS67 Actually looks original which seems impossible for a white silver coin from this era.

This statement is precisely why I just couldn't put the coin down. And when I finally did, I picked it back up again.... until I finally bought it.

 

The grade on the holder is MS67. Technically, if you grade it like a WLH, it's probably more like MS66.5, but the luster is so free and flowing that it's entrancing. Definitely worth the half point bump.

[MBA101]

And some nice big pics are where?

[Tradedollarnut]

I emailed them to my work computer - will put them up tomorrow.

Sounds like the type of coin that you never get tired of looking at. Those type of coins are few and far between.

Unbelieveable coin. Wow. I would have guessed 66, but what do I know....Mike
