Description
1859 'French Head of Liberty' Half in Copper
Judd-238, PR65 Brown
1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-238, Pollock-294, R.5, PR65 Brown
PCGS. Longacre's so-called "French Head" of Liberty, which
faces right, draped with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY and a wide
wreath of oak and vine on her head. The reverse has HALF DOLLAR in
the center, surrounded by a wreath identical except for scale to
that seen on the Legend Obverse Seated dime. Struck in copper with
a reeded edge. Saul Teichman expresses doubt on USPatterns.com
whether this design was actually designed by James Longacre or by
Anthony Paquet. The reason for the uncertainty stems from the
punches used in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA were those of Paquet. This
is an interesting example of this popular pattern. The obverse is
uniformly muted by brown patina, while still showing slight traces
of red around the devices. The reverse, on the other hand, is more
red than brown and quite vibrant.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29CJ, PCGS# 11968, Greysheet# 12377)
