1839 50C Drapery AU58 PCGS #6232

Outstanding 2-sided tone with nice luster! I haven't seen too many that look like this, especially on a first year type. Bought from the BST on the PCGS forum years ago.

1840 50C Small Letters XF40 PCGS #6234

Nice, original look to this coin. Nice 1840's can be found with some patience.

1840-O 50C WB-7 Very Small O AU53 PCGS #572004

Found this one to upgrade my VF-30 graded piece. This date/mint seems to be a bit easier to find than the 1841-O or 1842-O, but finding any of the early dates in this series in decent, original condition will take time.

1841 50C AU58 PCGS #6236

This was a coin I saw listed on the BST forum, and any nice 1841 gets my attention. This is a nice upgrade from my XF-40 coin and the PL surfaces don't hurt either. A very scarce date that hardly every shows up anywhere.

1841-O 50C WB-1 Large O AU55 PCGS #572009

Attractive toning on this very scarce date, and fairly well struck. Finding nice examples of this date/mint will take some time.

Attractive toning on this very scarce date, and fairly well struck. Finding nice examples of this date/mint will take some time.

1842 50C Medium Date AU50 PCGS #6239

Saw this coin in a Heritage auction and figured it would be a nice upgrade to my other 1842. The subtle, original toning is very attractive. The 1842 is easier to find than the 1841, but not seen as often as the 1843 or 1844.

1842 50C Medium Date AU50 PCGS #6239

1842-O 50C Medium Date, Rev 1842 XF45 PCGS #6242

Don't believe the guides that say this is a 'common' date, it's anything but unless you like bad examples. Sure this one has a few speckles on the reverse but it's a nice coin in hand, and it has some luster.

1843 50C AU58 PCGS #6243

I jumped on this one in a Teletrade auction because of the look and the grade assigned to it. Originally AU-53 in an old NGC holder, I crossed it over for the registry and turned it into an AU-58.

1843-O 50C VF35 PCGS #6244

Got this piece at a FUN show, like this kind of look in VF graded pieces. Nowhere near as tough as the 1842-O to locate.

1844 50C VF35 PCGS #6245

The cool, ice blue toning attracted me to this piece. The 1844 is considered a common date, but it's great when it has an uncommonly good look!

1844-O 50C VF35 PCGS #6246

Another nice, original looking coin for this set. VF-35 is a very ideal grade too. This date can be found with some ease, probably the equivalent of the 1843-O.

1845 50C XF45 PCGS #6248

Bought in an online auction from Alaska Rare Coins - with no images. Their description was spot on and they have a great shop so I made a bid, which turned out to be a good thing. This is not an easy date to locate in decent original condition, no doubt the low mintage is a factor.

1845-O 50C XF40 PCGS #6249

This was another tough date/mint for me to locate. There are drapery/no drapery varieties, but I took the first nice one (with drapery here) that came along. The strike is a bit weak in the front, but the original look of this coin outweighs that issue.

1846 50C Tall Date AU50 PCGS #6252

Put in what I thought was a low bid on this coin and ended up getting it after the auction was over. The 1846 is a common date, but the Tall Date variety is quite a bit scarcer. This crusty, attractive original coin was a welcome addition to my set.

1846-O 50C Medium Date VF35 PCGS #6255

Saw this coin on the CRO website one day and knew that I had to have it. The subtle rainbow toning gives this coin huge eye appeal of a higher grade than VF-35. This date is usually not hard to find, except for the tall date variety.

1847 50C XF45 PCGS #6257

This nice, original coin came from an Ebay auction. Starting with 1847 and stretching through 1852, I noticed Seated halves from that date range didn't show up as often as the previous few years. It took quite awhile to find this "common" date in acceptable condition.

1847-O 50C AU50 PCGS #6259

Slightly uneven, but still attractive toning on this somewhat tougher date. Cool die crack on the reverse too.

1848 50C VF35 PCGS #6260

This is another date that just isn't easy to find, due to the low mintage. This coin has a look I like, plus a green CAC sticker doesn't hurt either.

Another date/mintmark that took quite a while to find. I'll take VF-35's like this all day.

1849 50C XF40 PCGS #6262

Another date that wasn't all that easy to find in a nice, circulated condition. Any nice 1849 should be snapped up if you see one.

1849-O 50C XF45 PCGS #6263

To me, the 1849 Philly and New Orleans issues were about the same difficulty to find nice. Neither shows up all that often. This coin is a nice looking original XF-45.

1850 50C XF45 PCGS #6264

All I could say is "wow" when I saw this coin on a dealer's website. The 1850 Philly is one of the toughest dates in the series, these just don't show up at all, at shows or on the web. Nice, subtle toning graces both sides of this coin; it's very attractive in hand.

1850-O 50C AU53 PCGS #6265

I already had a nice 1850-O in XF-40, but this coin did call out to me. The central details are very strongly struck, giving the coin an almost 3-D appearance, especially on the eagle. The 1850-O is much easier to find than its Philly cousin, but it still is a date that isn't seen all that often.

1851 50C XF40 PCGS #6266

This is another extremely tough date in this series, a bit tougher to find than the 1850. This XF piece has a nice, dark original look to it.

1851-O 50C XF40 PCGS #6267

Much tougher to find than the 1850-O, this date will take some searching to find. This coin has nice, subtle toning on both sides and appears to have original surfaces.

1852 50C AU53 PCGS #6268

One of the toughest Philly dates in the whole series. I didn't see any 1852's for years until this one popped up on Ebay out of the blue. This coin has mildly prooflike surfaces that making the toning jump when tilted. Though a bit brighter in the centers, I see no signs of any cleaning. It's just a very well struck, lightly circulated coin that was very welcome in my collection!

1852-O 50C XF40 PCGS #6269

The last of the very tough early 1850's pieces in this series. I've seen very few coins of this date, and most of them are not very attractive. Even this piece is only middling in eye appeal, but the details are good for a New Orleans piece.

1853 50C Arrows and Rays XF45 PCGS #6275

Love this transitional design, especially the rays on the reverse. This date and type isn't all that hard to find, so it pays to be picky. I love the nice original look on this coin, along with the subtle color.

1891 50C AU53 PCGS #6373

Found this stunner on Gerry Fortin's website and decided I needed it to upgrade from my already nice VF-35 example. They call this date "common" but that's only because the previous run from 1879 thru 1890 had such low mintages. Yes, the 1891 is easier to find than those dates, but it's not easy to find one that's nice. You'll find a appealing 1854 Arrows or 1858-O way before you find a nice 1891.
