1838 Silver Half Dollar Pattern
Judd-73 Restrike, PR64

1838 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-73 Restrike, Pollock-77, R.5, PR64 PCGS. 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. A late die state piece, the reverse shows heavy die cracks radially from the border at 1:30, 4:30, 7 o'clock, and 8:30. Light die cracks connect many of the letters in the legend and denomination. This Choice proof exhibits reflective fields with light gray-gold surfaces and iridescent toning. Population: 13 in 64 (1 in 64+), 9 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 4 finer (12/25).
