1879 Morgan Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-1601, PR67

1879 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1601, Pollock-1796, High R.6, PR67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Morgan's bust for the 1878 silver dollar appears on the obverse, reduced here in scale for the half dollar denomination. E PLURIBUS UNUM and the stars have a layout similar to the Morgan dollar obverse. The reverse features a perched eagle sans wreath. The eagle clutches an olive branch with seven leaves, and three arrows with large arrowheads. IN GOD WE TRUST is widely spread and in tiny letters. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. More than a dozen examples are believed extant of this popular "mini-Morgan" pattern. Richly toned on both sides with rose-colored centers that are surrounded by sea-green margins. The underlying mirrors in the fields flash strongly through the toning. Weakly struck in the centers, as always.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 9867.
