<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2618684, member: 1892&quot;]I&#039;ve a soft spot in my heart for Reeded Edge Bust Halves. There was apparently a steep learning curve for the new steam-driven presses, resulting in a short series which <b>abounds</b> in varieties characterized by every type of die crack and break imaginable. These are fully codified, as well, which makes for enjoyable attribution (and what&#039;s more fun than attributing varieties? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). In addition, they are to be found with wonderful color, a plus in anyone&#039;s book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless I&#039;m mistaken, yours is GR-12 in a middling die state. It&#039;s an obverse shared with the much scarcer GR-11, although the reverse die cracks (if developed) are sufficiently unlike each other to clearly differentiate the varieties. Here, I believe, is a previous transaction of the same coin, last August:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/reeded-edge-half-dollars/half-dollars/1837-50c-gr-12-r2-ms62-pcgs-cac/a/1238-4718.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/reeded-edge-half-dollars/half-dollars/1837-50c-gr-12-r2-ms62-pcgs-cac/a/1238-4718.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/reeded-edge-half-dollars/half-dollars/1837-50c-gr-12-r2-ms62-pcgs-cac/a/1238-4718.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
