Description
1838 Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-76a Restrike, PR64+
Just Two Pieces Known
1838 P50C Seated Liberty Half Dollar, Judd-76a Restrike,
Pollock-82, R.8, PR64+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse is
similar to the adopted Seated Liberty design. Differences include
an incuse LIBERTY and a wide, slightly curved date. The reverse is
noticeably different, with a spread-winged eagle that holds four
arrows and a laurel branch. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
The die combination was also struck in silver with a plain edge
(Judd-76), and in copper with a plain (Judd-77) and reeded
(Judd-78) edge. All are believed to be struck during the 1870s, due
to die rust evident on the reverse. Originals (Judd-76b) were
coined in silver only, from a different obverse die with LIBERTY
raised, and a rust-free reverse. This well-preserved near-Gem
exhibits attractive original rose-gold, navy-blue, plum-red, and
apple-green toning. The strike shows moderate incompleteness on the
eagle's breast and legs. There are no relevant detractions. Only
two Judd-76a patterns are confirmed, the present lot and the
Witham-Queller specimen we auctioned in January, July, and
September 2009.Ex: Édouard Frossard; T. Harrison Garrett; Robert Garrett; John Work Garrett; Johns Hopkins University; Garrett Collection, Part 1 (Bowers and Ruddy, 11/1979), lot 364; Harry W.
