Paquet 1859 Pattern Half Dollar in PR 64 Brown

1859 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-236, Pollock-283, R.6, PR 64 Brown PCGS. Anthony Paquet's design for the Seated series, here in the half dollar format. Liberty is seen seated in a stiff pose, left hand resting on an upright shield, right hand atop a fasces. The reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings, a scroll in its beak, and the usual statutory inscriptions above and below. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. A rich overlay of glossy-brown patina provides impressive eye appeal even for the PR 64 grade level. Brighter cobalt-blue and crimson undertones at also noted at certain angles, but there do not appear to be any hairlines that would rule out a full Gem grade.
