Exceptional 1836 O-113 Half Dollar 1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Lettered Edge. O-113. Rarity-2. MS-65 (NGC). With expertly preserved Gem surfaces, this lovely Gem 1836 half dollar qualifies for upper end Condition Census for the Overton-113 dies. Lustrous surfaces are satin to softly frosted in finish with a dusting of lovely sandy-silver iridescence. The strike is sharp in virtually all areas and superior for an issue that is often found with noticeable softness in one or more areas. This is a popular transitional year in the United States half dollar series which saw the final Lettered Edge coinage give way to the first Reeded Edge examples after the introduction of a steam powered coinage press in the Mint. The O-113 variety of the Lettered Edge type, as offered here, is available in an absolute sense, but in Gem Mint State it is a significant condition rarity. The Knoxville-Pogue specimen in PCGS/CAC MS-66+ is alone in CC#1 for the variety, followed by the present example in NGC MS-65 in CC#2. This coin is not listed in the Spring 2022 revision to the Herrman AMBPR for Bust half dollars. PCGS# 39948. NGC ID: 24G2. Click here for certification details from NGC.
