1836 50C LETTERED EDGE MS62 OGH PCGS CAC

1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar, Lettered Edge, MS62 PCGS CAC — Old Green Holder with Exceptional Luster

One of the most lustrous Capped Bust halves one could hope to find at the MS62 level, this example has the vibrant, glowing appearance that makes a coin memorable in hand. Frosty silver centers are framed by warm champagne hue. When tilted beneath a light, strong mint luster moves freely across both sides, giving the surfaces an animated quality and eye appeal well beyond what the numerical grade alone suggests. The 1836 Lettered Edge half dollar represents the closing chapter of an era: during that year, the Mint began the transition to steam-powered coinage and reeded-edge half dollars, making the older lettered-edge format particularly evocative of early nineteenth-century production. Last auction records for standard non-OGH MS62 PCGS CAC for $1,740 01/25 HA.
