    This was the first half dollar produced with a closed collar, at which time the edge device also transitioned from the lettered edge used previously to a new reeded edge.

    Per Coinfacts approx. 5000 coins were minted and an estimated 1000 examples survive.

    How would you grade my example?

    I'll say VF30-35. Let's go 35. Another nice, wholesome looking coin.

    I think I unconsciously gave it that five-point bump from 30 to 35 because of the eye appeal.

    I was thinking 40 but 35 may be correct.
