1871 Indian Princess Half Dime in Silver
Judd-1062, PR64
Rarely Seen Obverse / Reverse Pairing

1871 H10C Half Dime, Judd-1062, Pollock-1197, R.7, PR64 NGC. Longacre's Indian Princess design (as implemented by William Barber) with Liberty seated and wearing an Indian headdress, one hand resting on a globe, the other holding a Liberty pole, with conjoined flags behind. The reverse is the regular issue for Liberty Seated half dimes. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is an extraordinarily scarce pattern, undoubtedly scarcer than the Low R.7 rating given it by the Judd reference. Our records indicate only four public auction sales in the past 15 years. When we last sold this piece in 2004, we described it as: "A crisply struck specimen with flashy mirrors and attractive tan and ocean-blue colors. A few faint marks in the obverse field are made inconspicuous by the original toning."
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2004), lot 9586.
