1836 50C Reeded Edge AU55+ Certification #21602441, PCGS #6175

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Legend Says: Beautifully toned on both sides, with a ring of aqua-teal at the rim, melding into an amber-orange-gold in the centers. The design elements are nicely defined by a crisp, exacting strike and there is only a touch of light wear on the surfaces. Inspection with a strong glass reveals some light, long toned over marks which have a minimal overall impact on the outstanding eye appeal.
