1838 Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-73 Restrike, PR63
Attractive Border Toning
1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-73 Restrike, Pollock-77, R.5, PR63
NGC. CAC. A draped bust of Liberty faces left on the obverse,
with a flying eagle dominating the reverse. Kneass was once
believed to designed this pattern, but visual evidence points to
Christian Gobrecht, since the face of Liberty bears a strong
resemblance to her counterpart on the Liberty eagle, also
introduced in 1838. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Medallic
alignment. Housed in a former generation holder, which states the
pattern is an original striking. But per USPatterns.com, probably
all Judd-73 patterns are restrikes, since the three prominent
reverse radial cracks are seen on all examples but do not appear on
Judd-79 patterns, which were struck in 1838. The online (11/20)
Judd-73 NGC Census makes no mention of originals or restrikes. The
present piece is an earlier die state than sometimes seen, since
there is no radial crack through the U in UNITED. This is a
well-mirrored Select specimen with peripheral plum-red and
cobalt-blue toning. The centers display minor incompleteness of
strike. No detractions are evident.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 296N, PCGS# 11288)
