1838 Half Dollar Pattern, PR64
Judd-72, Probable Restrike

1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-72, Pollock-75, R.5, PR64 PCGS. CAC. 192.13 grains. Believed to have been designed by William Kneass but probably executed by Christian Gobrecht. This half dollar design features a draped bust of Liberty facing left with stars on the left and right, date below. The reverse shows a stately drop-wing eagle without shield. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Originals and restrikes are known of this pattern. The lighter weight pieces, such as this one, are restrikes and are believed to have been produced after 1853. The fields are nicely reflective and each side displays moderate gray-rose toning with minimal hairlines.
