Description
1870 Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-936, PR66+ Red Cameo
1870 50C Half Dollar, Judd-936, Pollock-1042, High R.6, PR66+
Red Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. William Barber's
seated figure of Liberty faces left on the obverse. Thirteen stars
surround Liberty with the date below. Liberty supports a shield
with her right hand and holds an olive branch in her left. A
Liberty pole is behind the shield, and a scroll crosses the shield,
inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. The reverse is the type used
for regular-issue Seated halves. Struck in copper with a plain
edge. Although more than a dozen examples reportedly exist, we
cannot imagine a finer one, and indeed none are graded higher.
Glowing copper-orange surfaces have hardly mellowed and show
luminous accents of lemon-gold and rose around the devices.
Contrast is spectacular, and only a couple of carbon spots are
seen.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
