Description
1867 Half Eagle in Silver
Judd-601a, XF Details
Only Two Known
1867 $5 Half Eagle, Judd-601a, Pollock-663, R.8 -- Rim Damage --
PCGS Genuine. Proof, XF Details. The obverse is similar to the
issued three cent nickel, except Liberty has a star on her coronet,
and the bust is smaller. The reverse is identical to the issued
Motto Liberty half eagle. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Also
issued in nickel (Judd-601), and both patterns are extremely rare
with only two known each. They believed to have been privately
struck from U.S. Mint dies sold as scrap metal, possibly by Joseph
Mickley or Sylvester S. Crosby. The present lot is the first
appearance of Judd-601a in a Heritage auction. It appears to have
circulated, as a finder made light, narrow cuts on the obverse rim
from 8 to 9 o'clock in the hope of revealing a gold interior. The
fields display tobacco-brown toning with glimpses of environmental
damage. The high points are pearl-white.Ex: Tampa Bay Rarities (Bowers and Merena, 1/2011), lot 1270.
