1871 Standard Silver Half in Aluminum
Judd-1113, PR68 Cameo

1871 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-1113, Pollock-1249, R.8, PR68 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse features Longacre's "Indian Princess" design, with a seated Liberty facing left, wearing a headdress and supporting a Liberty Cap pole in her right hand. Her left hand rests on a globe, with LIBERTY inscribed and two conjoined flags behind. The date (1871) is below. The reverse shows the denomination inside a wreath of cotton and corn, with STANDARD above. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. The design was also struck in silver (Judd-1111) and copper (Judd-1112). USPatterns.com has traced only two examples of Judd-1113. The fields are deeply mirrored and serve to accent the mint frost that covers the devices on each side. Extraordinary preservation of surfaces.
