PCGS. The regular issue obverse is paired with Anthony Paquet's
reverse with an eagle, wings spread, its head turned toward the
right (viewer's left) wing, the statutory legend, UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, around, and the denomination, HALF DOLLAR, below. The
eagle is clutching an olive branch and three long arrows, a ribbon
in its mouth inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM. Struck in silver with a
reeded edge. Some golden undertones penetrate deep gunmetal-gray
and blue-green patina on this sharp Select proof. Some russet-ebony
freckles in the left obverse field and at Liberty's knee serve as
pedigree markers. In 1976, Stack's wrote that no more than three of
this pattern were known; today four are traced.Ex: ANA Auction (Stack's, 8/1976), lot 3600; The New York Connoisseur's Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, 3/2006), lot 1336; Rarities Night (Stack's Bowers, 8/2011), lot 7485; Rarities Night (Stack's Bowers, 3/2012), lot 4181; Rarities Night (Stack's Bowers, 11/2012), lot 3207; Baltimore Auction (Stack's Bowers, 3/2013), lot 2114; Regency Auction 48 (Legend, 10/2021), lot 102.
