<p>[QUOTE="bradgator2, post: 8042414, member: 110679"]I have always wanted this subtype. This is the reeded edge but with “50 cents” on the reverse. Only made in 1836 (mintage 5000) and 1837 (mintage almost 4 million). The type 3 (1838 and 1839) has “Half Dol” on reverse. I already own a nice Type 1 and 3.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is graded by ICG as AU50 details (damaged) and purchased at a fraction of listed AU50 priceguide/recent auction results. I usually do not buy detailed coins. Looking at the seller’s pics, I was thinking the damage was the gouge on the shield. Which I could happily live with. In hand, I dont think the gouge is this issue. I think it was lightly polished. If so, I am not certain why ICG did not label it as cleaned or polished. In the end, I am still happy to own her.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really cant find much info on this date. There is a cool die crack that runs halfway around the circumference in the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1392480[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1392481[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
