Description
1859 Paquet Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-236, Pollock-283, PR64 Brown
1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-236, Pollock-283, R.5, PR64 Brown
NGC. Paquet's obverse design features a left-facing Liberty,
seated, supporting a fasces with her right hand and a shield with
her left. Thirteen small stars surround the periphery with the
date, 1859, in exergue. Arrows and olive branches lie at the base
of the shield. The reverse was also designed by Paquet and shows a
slightly disproportionate eagle, with wings spread, holding three
slender arrows in its left claw and an olive sprig with its right.
The scroll held in the eagle's beak reads E PLURIBUS UNUM with
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA occupying the upper periphery and HALF
DOLLAR the lower. The vertical lines in the shield are in groups of
four each, as opposed to three lines found on the similar "broken
ribbon" version of this pattern. Struck in copper with a reeded
edge. The surfaces are deep in color with slight variation in the
hues seen on each side.From The Collection of William Rau.
