1872 Seated Half Dollar in Aluminum
Judd-1204, PR66+ Cameo

1872 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1204, Pollock-1344, High R.7, PR66+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A regular dies trial issue, struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. According to Saul Teichman of USPatterns.com, only three or four of these off-metal strikes are believed to exist, having been produced specifically for sale to well-connected dealers and collectors. PCGS reports one piece in PR66 and this example in PR66 Cameo, while the NGC Census lists one in PR66 Cameo (1/21). Those totals may or may not include some duplication. What we do know is that these Judd-1204 pieces are extremely rare, and they are almost never offered publicly.

This is a bright and highly reflective example (as usual for aluminum coins), exhibiting essentially no marks or hairlines. An important opportunity for the pattern collector to obtain the finest certified example of this rare Judd-1204 variant.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7-8/1997), lot 7324; June Auction (Superior, 6/1998), lot 1999; Teletrade (1999).
