Description

1859 Half Dollar Pattern, PR66 Red and Brown
Judd-236, Broken Ribbon Variant

1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-236, Pollock-285, R.7, PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Paquet's obverse design features a left-facing Liberty, seated, supporting 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. Reverse: Also, by Paquet. A slightly disproportionate eagle, with wings spread, holds three slender arrows in its left claw and an olive sprig with its right talon. 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 three each, as opposed to four lines as found on the similar "perfect ribbon" version of this pattern. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.

Variegated mahogany and chestnut-brown over glossy surfaces. The strike is razor-sharp apart from the R in PLURIBUS on the reverse scroll, which is inherent to the issue. Census: 2 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (2/25).
Ex: Stack's (privately before 2009); The Lemus Collection, Queller Family Collection/FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 1570.
