Description
GOD OUR TRUST 1862 Half Dollar
Judd-296, PR62 Red and Brown
1862 50C Half Dollar, Judd-296, Pollock-354, High R.6, PR62 Red
and Brown PCGS. Similar to the regular issue 1862 Seated half
design, but the legend GOD OUR TRUST is set into the field above
the eagle without an accompanying scroll. Struck in copper with a
reeded edge. At least a dozen examples are known of this pattern
variant. There is an interesting note in the USPatterns.com website
regarding this issue: "Some of these are believed to be restrikes
especially those struck in copper which were 'bronzed'. W. Elliot
Woodward mentions in his October 1880 Haines sale catalog of the
peddling of these sets by mint officials." This piece was obviously
cleaned and there are several contact marks in the fields, both of
which account for the PR62 grade.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29E7, PCGS# 70446, GSID# 12492)
