1870 Copper Standard Silver Half
Judd-977, PR61 Brown
1870 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-977, Pollock-1089,
Low R.7, PR61 Brown PCGS. A bust of Liberty faces right on the
obverse with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll below. Liberty
wears a cap that is ornamented with two stars, and a ribbon that
crosses her shoulder is inscribed with LIBERTY in raised letters.
The initial B is seen within the folds of the ribbon behind
Liberty's cap, distinguishing this as the Obverse of 1869. The
legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at the upper periphery. On the
reverse, the denomination 50 CENTS is expressed within a wreath of
oak and laurel. The date 1870 is below, the word STANDARD is above.
Struck in copper with a reeded edge. As usual, examples were struck
in silver, copper, and aluminum with both edge treatments. There
are no common type coins in this series however; each issue is
rated R.7, meaning half a dozen or fewer pieces are known. This
piece was vigorously cleaned and now shows bright yellow-red and
deeper red color on each side.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29Z2, PCGS# 61223)
