This half dollar design features a draped bust of Liberty facing left with stars on the left and right, date below. The reverse shows a stately drop-wing eagle without shield. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Deep blue and lavender-gray patina encompasses this sharply struck piece, with hints of olive-gold in the margins. The fields are reflective beneath the rich patina.
