1877 Half Dollar in Silver, PR65
Judd-1524, Pollock-1692
Unique, Ex: Maris-Garrett-Bass
1877 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1524, Pollock-1692, R.8, PR65
PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse offers a head of Liberty with
six stars to the left, seven to the right, and the date below.
Liberty wears a wide-banded cap with the word LIBERTY, hair tied
back with a ribbon. The cap is garnished by wheat and cotton. The
reverse displays an eagle on a shield inside a band that carries
the dual mottoes IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM in Gothic
script. Around is the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with HALF
DOLLAR below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Pollock lists
two variants of this obverse die in silver, one with the second 7
far from the dentils (Pollock-1690) and one with the second 7 close
to the dentils (Pollock-1692). According to USPatterns.com, this is
the only known example of Pollock-1692. The Bass cataloger believed
it to be unique, and no information has come to light to contradict
that assertion.All 1877 half dollar patterns are highly sought-after, but this unique, well-pedigreed representative deserves extra attention and a premium bid. The obverse is largely cobalt-blue with central shades of magenta and peach-orange. A similar blue hue dominates the reverse, surrounded by golden patina around the borders.
