1838 50C PCGS MS61

There are some coins that stick in your mind long after seeing them, and this is one of those coins for the cataloger. This beautiful 1838 half dollar features original patina and light orange toning on the obverse, with slight areas of darker toning on the reverse. There is no evidence that this coin has been dipped, even with the smooth luster. The fields are clean, and the strike is deep. The cataloger believes this is undergraded, but grading is subjective after all. Who wants to try their hand at an upgrade?!
