Description
1869 Standard Silver Half in Silver
Judd-742b, PR64+
Possibly Unique Plain Edge Variant
1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-742b, Pollock-830a,
R.8, PR64+ PCGS. CAC.A bust of Liberty wearing a cap ornamented with two stars faces right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds the figure, and a scroll with IN GOD WE TRUST is below. The reverse depicts 50 CENTS centered in a wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and the date, 1869, below. Struck in silver with a plain edge. Judd-742a and b lack the designer's initial B above LI on the ribbon. According to USPatterns.com this example was "submitted to PCGS in June 2019." Reading between the lines it seems this is the only plain edge example of this design variant, and if so it should be classed as unique rather than R.8. The obverse displays a rich rose-tinted center that is surrounded by cobalt-blue, while the reverse is mostly brilliant with a long peripheral dash of color.
