1877 Morgan Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-1511, PR66 Red and Brown

1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1511, Pollock-1675, R.7, PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse has the basic Morgan Liberty head facing left, with E PLURIBUS UNUM in large letters to the left and right. Below, the date is in small numerals, with two stars left and four right of the date. Above are seven additional stars. Although not identical, the reverse design is similar to the adopted Morgan dollar design of 1878, of course with the denomination expressed as HALF DOLLAR. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. While five examples are known in silver of this design, in copper a mere four pieces are traced. This specimen retains significant portions of deep red mint luster in equal amounts on both sides with patches of blue interspersed. Sharply struck throughout. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (12/21).
Ex: Lenox Lohr; River Oaks - Krugjohann Collections, Part II (Bowers and Ruddy, 11/1976), lot 980; Morris Evans Collection (Bowers and Merena, 8/1998), lot 2076.
