Rare 1871 Indian Princess Half Dollar

1871 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-1105, Pollock-1241, R.7, PR64 NGC. A seated representation of Liberty faces right on the obverse. She wears an Indian headdress and supports a liberty pole with her right hand. Her left hand rests on a globe with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. The date 1871 is below. On the reverse, the denomination 50 CENTS is situated within a wreath of cotton and corn with STANDARD above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is only the second example that we have handled in recent memory, and it is an attractively toned near-Gem. The otherwise brilliant surfaces exhibit bright orange-russet and electric-blue peripheral highlights that are most extensive on the obverse. Powerfully impressed with no readily evident hairlines. Almost identical in quality to the example in our 2001 ANA sale, and certified at the same grade by NGC, but this is not the same coin.
From The A. James Evans Collection.(#61364)
