1871 Dies Trial Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-1117, PR65 Brown

1871 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1117, Pollock-1253, R.7, PR65 Brown NGC. Ex: Samuel Berngard Collection. The obverse and reverse designs are the same as those of the regular issue 1871 half dollar. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The so-called regular dies trial piece. These are believed to have been deliberately struck for sale to collectors as part of complete off-metal sets, as opposed to being true dies trial pieces. Fewer than a half dozen are known. This Gem displays fully struck, smooth, sea-green surfaces, which are entirely free of contact or handling marks. There are only a few tiny traces of carbon. A lovely and very rare pattern piece.
Ex: Baltimore Signature (Heritage, 7/2003), lot 10029; November Signature (Heritage, 11/2003), lot 11183.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2A4K, PCGS# 61376, Greysheet# 14022)
