Description
1877 Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-1506, Pollock-1660
PR66+ Cameo
1877 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1506, Pollock-1660, High R.7, PR66+
Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Essentially a miniature of
Morgan's famous dollar design, dated 1877. The reverse has an eagle
over a seven-pointed shield, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to the left,
above, and right of the shield. This entire design is enclosed
within a wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around and HALF
DOLLAR below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.The obverse of Pollock-1660 is similar to that of Pollock-1668. Minor differences include the wheat ears around (PLU)RIB(US), the longer and slightly curved bust tip, and the presence of George Morgan's "M" initial above the lowest curl. According to USPatterns.com, six examples of Judd-1506 are known: four from this obverse die and two from the other. The fields are deeply reflective on each side with starkly contrasting mint frost over the devices. It is obvious from viewing each side that the obverse and reverse designs were not well thought out in terms of die opposition. High-point detail on one side is directly opposite the high-point definition on the other side. There is slight softness evident on the hair curls of Liberty, and on the reverse the central details on the eagle's head, breast, and legs are ill-defined. A rare opportunity for the pattern collector.
