1838 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-7. Rarity-4.

1838 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. HALF DOL. GR-7. Rarity-4. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Fully brilliant and boldly lustrous, this is a late die state example of the GR-7 variety, with a prominent die crack extending from the rim between stars 2 and 3 and curving toward the bust without quite reaching it. Graham calls this die state "Stage a" and notes that it is easier to acquire than examples struck before the crack developed. Premium quality for the Choice AU grade, this would make a pleasing type coin for the collector who appreciates a bright and brilliant appearance. In his 2024 census, Koenings assigned GR-7 a Rarity-3 rating, compared with Graham's Rarity-4 assessment in 2012. Jim Koenings Commentary: This die marriage is rated R-3. It was a "New Discovery" following the publication of Jules Reiver's 1988 book. Graham rated the variety R-4 in 2012, but additional specimens have since been reported. Provenance: From the Jim Koenings Collection. Earlier from Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2018, lot 8174. PCGS# 6177. NGC ID: 24G5.
