1836 50C Reeded Edge, GR-1, R.2, AU58 PCGS. The Reeded Edge half dollar of 1836 marked the Mint's first use of the steam presses for regular coinage. The lettered edge of previous years was not transferable to steam press coinage, and so the reeded edge was introduced. The 1836 is the key date in the short Reeded Edge Bust half dollar type. This example is sharp and nearly unworn, with deep gunmetal-gray patina over both sides. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
