numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11168 Posts	Posted 10/03/2025 4:52 pm Picked this up. There are 26 known varieties of the 1837 half dollar so I am not going to try to attribute it. The only hand-punched element is the date so the reeded halves are very difficult to attribute and I am not going to try. Also, the David Graham reference is not online so no luck finding the attribution markers.Thoughts? Thanks! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7080 Posts	Posted 10/04/2025 01:09 am A bit better shape than my 1837 but mine has some cool circulated cameo effect. I do appreciate your set of bust half dollars. Edited by muddler 10/04/2025 01:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
