1837 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Reeded Edge. 50 CENTS. GR-22. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS). OGH. Light golden-russet toning enhances bright and lustrous surfaces on both sides of this attractive example of the GR-22 variety. Clashing upward from the chest and to the right of the eagle's left wing, along with a die line extending from the dentils to the N of CENTS, provide familiar pickup points for the variety. GR-22 also displays an interesting strike, with the upper stars and cap weak while the lower stars are well defined. Corresponding areas of the reverse show similar weakness, most notably at CEN of CENTS. These striking characteristics are present on every GR-22 your cataloger (BAO) has seen, though Graham uses the phrase "most often found with," leaving open the possibility of an exception. The present coin displays this characteristic weakness, though not to its most extreme degree; on some examples, CEN can be completely missing. A small dig above star 1 is noted for accuracy and likely accounts for the grade; otherwise, the appearance of the coin is decidedly Choice AU. Koenings assigned the GR-22 variety a Rarity-2 rating in his 2024 census. Jim Koenings Commentary: Another R-2 die marriage as of 12-15-24. It may also come with stretched obverse stars. More research is needed. Many specimens have a weak top to the letters CE in CENTS on the reverse. Provenance: From the Jim Koenings Collection. PCGS# 6176. NGC ID: 24G4.
