xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 12/08/2008 09:29 am Hi All, Do 1834 halves have reeding along with lettering on the edge? I can't find mention of reeding.. info just says: "Edge: Lettered "FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR"" thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

They have vertical design features between the wording - it'll look like this: \|\|\|FIFTY\|\|\|CENTS\|\|\|OR\|\|\|HALF\|\|\|A\|\|\|DOLLAR\|\|\|* Report this Post to the Staff
