Description
1838 Half Dollar Pattern, AU Details
Judd-76, The So-Called 'Straight Date'
1838 P50C Seated Liberty Half Dollar, Judd-76, Pollock-83,
R.8--Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Proof, AU. The obverse is
similar to the adopted design with only slight differences. The
reverse, however, is noticeably different, with a spread-winged
eagle that holds four arrows and a laurel branch. Struck in silver
with a plain edge. NGC does not differentiate between originals and
restrikes. The restrikes, such as seen here, show scattered die
rust on the reverse and are believed to have been struck in the
1870s. Slight friction is noted over the high points. Each side is
unnaturally bright from cleaning, with gray-rose and blue toning.
Only two or three examples are believed known of this variant.
