1839 50C No Drapery XF45 认证号22035208, PCGS号6230

PCGS XF45. Heritage Auctions notes: 1839 50C No Drapery, WB-101, Die Pair 2, R.3, XF45 PCGS. This Choice XF example is one of four 1839 No Drapery die marriages, while the With Drapery variant adds another three varieties for the year. Golden-gray surfaces show light lines and tiny marks with magnification, but there are no individual marks of mentionable significance. Moderate wear on Liberty's portrait and some weakness at the reverse dentils are grade-consistent. Traces of mint luster remain in the sheltered areas. (NGC ID# 24GK, Variety PCGS# 572000, Base PCGS# 6230)

The 1839 "No Drapery" Half Dollar is named after it's most obvious feature -- the lack of a fold of drapery beneath Liberty's left arm (the one on the viewer's right). Later in the year, the obverse design was modified, not only by adding the drapery, but by changing the shape of the rock on which Liberty sits, and by altering the folds in her gown. 

According to the PCGS Population Report (as of June 2011), the 1839 No Drapery Half Dollar is slighly more scarce than the 1839 With Drapery Half Dollar, not only in all grades, but in Mint State, as well.  The most frequently-seen Mint State grade is MS-63 (11 graded).  The 1839 No Drapery Half Dollar becomes very scarce in MS-64 and authentically rare in MS-65 (3 graded).  None have been graded finer.
