1877 Morgan Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-1513, PR67 Red and Brown
Tied for Finest Certified
1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1513, Pollock-1677, Low R.7,
PR67 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Weight: 189.9 Grains.
Diameter: 30.4 mm. Designed by George Morgan, the obverse has a
reduced head of Liberty as seen on the adopted silver dollar of
1878, surrounded by a circle of beads, and between the beads and
denticles are E PLURIBUS UNUM, 13 stars, and the date. The reverse
shows a defiant eagle facing left. This is the same eagle Morgan
would use 38 years later on the reverse of the Panama-Pacific
quarter eagle. This reverse was also used with minor modifications
on the famous 1879 Schoolgirl dollar. The same inner beaded border
is repeated on the reverse and between the beads and the denticles
are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HALF DOLLAR. Struck in copper with a
reeded edge. Research by R.W. Julian indicates the design was
produced in February of 1877. The design was also struck in silver
(Judd-1512). USPatterns.com lists a roster of nine distinct
examples, and two more that may (or may not) be duplicate citations
of some other coins in the list.This delightful Superb Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, with just a touch of softness on the eagle's breast. The well-preserved golden-brown surfaces show highlights of electric-blue sea-green, and lilac, with reflective fields underneath. A short mark through LI in LIBERTY serves as a pedigree marker. Eye appeal is outstanding.
