1859 Paquet Half Dollar, PR64
Very Rare Judd-247, Silver

1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-247, Pollock-286, High R.7, PR64 PCGS. CAC. The Paquet Liberty Seated with Fasces obverse. Liberty is seated on a rock and supports an upright shield with one hand and fasces with the other. An olive branch and three arrowheads lie beneath the shield. Thirteen stars encircle the rim. The reverse features the Cereal Wreath design as issued on the Seated dime, but in larger format. The denomination is expressed as HALF DOLLAR at the center. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is the first appearance of Judd-247 in a Heritage auction since 1999. A beautifully toned specimen with rich peripheral bands of electric-blue, caramel-gold, and plum-red. Substantial frost on the motifs suggest that a Cameo designation may be in its eventual future.
