Description
1861 Motto Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-278, PR65 Brown
1861 P50C Half Dollar, Judd-278, Pollock-327, Low R.7, PR65
Brown NGC. The design is similar to the regular-issue Seated
half dollar, but the motto GOD OUR TRUST is placed on a scroll
above the eagle. Struck in copper and bronzed with a reeded edge.
Fewer than a dozen examples are believed known of both silver and
copper strikings of the two date variants of this experimental
motto half dollar. Two different obverse dies were used with
slightly different date placements. This piece is an example of the
Date Left variant with the shield point aligned with the right side
of 1 in the date. While labeled Brown, there is a significant
presence of original mint red on the obverse, while the reverse
shows deeper blue patina. An exceptionally attractive example of
this scarce variant of the With Motto concept. Census: 6 in 65
Brown, 0 finer (12/25).Ex: The Collection of William Rau/Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2018), lot 4934.
