50C 1836 LETTERED EDGE PCGS PR66

PCGS was stingy grading this MONSTER ONLY a PR66. When getting it imaged, we did resubmit it seeking at least a +. Regardless, this is the FINEST PR 1836 Lettered Edge Half in existence! ONLY 15 were ever minted!

This coin is incredible proof (pardon the pun) that when the mint wanted to make real proofs in the 1830’s they certainly knew how too. The mirrors on this MONSTER will blow away any on a Proof Morgan or later Proof coin! Both sides feature mirrors that are incredibly deep, have crystal clear clarity, are remarkably clean (more lines and ticks on the holder than the coin) and of course have nearly blinding reflectivity. A MONSTER, jaw dropping, heart racing, eye popping color scheme of ORIGINAL electric royal blue/purple/pale gold colors swirl all over. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and have pinpoint sharp strikes. The details sort of look 3-D! The eye appeal is unbelievable!

ONLY 15 were ever minted. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. NO PCGS/CAC PR66 have ever sold at auction. The current Collectors Universe value is $175,000.00, which seems cheap to us.

A coin like this will be a highlight of ANY collection it resides in. We consider it a full numismatic treasure! Like the 1836 RE PCGS PR64 Cameo we are offering, this coin one will also one day attain the status and correct valuation it deserves.
