The Capped Bust Reeded Edge Half Dollar was in production from 1836 to 1839. It closely resembled the Capped Bust Lettered Edge Half Dollar of 1807 to 1836, the main difference being the edge design.

The 1836 reeded edge half dollar is a key date. The 1838-O is one of the most important dates in rare coin collecting.
