Koenings' Reeded Edge Half Newsletter

In 2012 Dick Graham published A Registry of Die Varieties of Reeded Edge Half Dollars, presenting a die variety analysis of the U.S. half dollars struck from 1836 to 1839. The work extended the well-known Overton guide, which covered the Flowing Hair and Bust half dollars from 1794-1836. Graham identified 56 die marriages for this short series. More recently, Jim Koenings has used Graham’s work as a starting point and has been doing in depth analysis of individual Graham numbers on a monthly basis. The most recently installment, #32 for December 2021, covers the 1838 GR-9 variety.  Collectors of the series will find this supplemental material most useful – Koenings includes additional images and hints for attributions and die states, in addition to data on recent sales and related market activity. Link to Koenings' Reeded Edge Half Newsletter on Newman Portal: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/540192
