TWO EXTREMELY RARE U. S. HALF DOLLARS
The Extremely Rare Proof 1836 Milled Edge Half Dollar
658. 1836 Reeded edge half dollar. Brilliant PROOF. Extremely rare. A
similar specimen was reported to have sold for $750.00 on the West Coast last year. This specimen should equal that price. (750.00)
The Excessively Rare 1838 Gobrecht Half Dollar
659. 1838 Gobrecht Half Dollar. The obverse is similar to the Gobrecht dollars
of the same year. The reverse is also similar to the Gobrecht dollars except for HALF DOLLAR instead of ONE DOLLAR. This coin is an original struck on a 206% grain planchet. Struck from dies 4-C (See “The Secret History of the Gobrecht Coin¬ ages” by Walter Breen). This coin was unknown to numismatists until three specimens were discovered in 1956 (See page 532, May 1957 “Numismatist”). This Gobrecht half dollar is a choice Proof and a magnificent showpiece. If an 1838 Gobrecht dollar with 25 coined is worth $600, this far rarer item should be worth much more. This piece is just as desirable as any Gobrecht dollar and should bring in the neighborhood of $1000.00.
