Description
Exceptional 1838 Half Dollar Pattern
Judd-73 Restrike, PR66 ★
1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-73 Restrike, Pollock-77, R.5, PR66 ★
NGC. The obverse, once attributed to Chief Engraver William
Kneass, is more likely the work of assistant Christian Gobrecht. It
depicts a large draped bust of Liberty facing left. Medallic
alignment. A level flying eagle faces left and dominates the
reverse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Three die cracks are
seen on the reverse. The difference between originals and restrikes
is determined not by the presence of die cracks, as one might
think, but by weight (206 grains vs. 143 grains) and reed count
(143-145 reeds vs. 146 reeds). Like the previous Judd-72, the
surfaces are reddish-golden and turn blue around the margins with
deeply mirrored fields.From The Lemus Collection, Queller Family Collection Part Three.
