1877 Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-1530, PR65

1877 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1530, Pollock-1698, High R.7, PR65 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse shows the head of Liberty facing left wearing a crested helmet with an eagle motif. IN GOD WE TRUST is in small letters above, the date is below, and 13 stars are around the periphery. On the reverse, a spread-winged eagle stands on a tablet inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM. Above the eagle is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and below HALF DOLLAR. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is one of the rarest of all pattern designs. Only four pieces are known in silver, and another six are extant in copper. This is a lovely example whose surfaces are toned in multiple shadings with strong underlying proof mirrors in the fields. Significant field-device contrast is also apparent.
