1869 Standard Silver Half Struck in Silver
Judd-742, PR61

1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-742, Pollock-823, R.5, PR61 PCGS. A bust of Liberty faces right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around and a scroll with IN GOD WE TRUST below. Liberty wears a cap ornamented with two large stars. William Barber's initial "B" can be seen within the folds of the ribbon at the back of the cap, and pronounced doubling is seen on the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The reverse has 50 CENTS centered within a wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Two variants are known of this design. This first variant shows the "B" within the folds of the ribbon, the other and much rarer variety does not. Cleaning and numerous small contact marks explain the PR61 grade. Each side is still brightly mirrored and there is a slight overlay of golden-brown toning.
