Description
1859 Longacre Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-239, PR64
1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-239, Pollock-295, R.4, PR64 PCGS.
CAC. The so-called "French Head" design for the half dollar
that features a bust of Liberty facing right, draped with a ribbon
inscribed LIBERTY with a wide wreath of oak and vine on her head.
The reverse has 1/2 DOLLAR in the center and is surrounded by a
wreath of cotton, tobacco, corn, sugar cane, wheat, and oak. Struck
in silver with a reeded edge. We are uncertain where the term
"French Head" came from. The design was obviously inspired by the
Apollo Belvedere, a Neoclassical statue in Rome that was considered
the ideal of Classical beauty. Much brightness and deep
reflectivity is apparent with just a hint of light toning
present.From The A. James Evans Collection, Part II.
