1877 Morgan Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-1514, Toned PR66
1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1514, Pollock-1678, Low R.7,
PR66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse is similar to the Morgan
dollar, but the head of Liberty is surrounded by a beaded circle,
with 13 stars and E PLURIBUS UNUM around the edge. The date 1877 is
below. On the reverse a so-called "defiant eagle" is perched on a
scroll inscribed IN GOD WE TRUST. An olive branch points left, and
three arrowheads point right. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
This pattern design dates to February 1877, and is the first of
four dies from this year. Only seven examples are known in silver
with the same number known in copper. Each side exhibits speckled,
multicolor toning over deeply mirrored fields. The devices show
thick mint frost and the coin would undoubtedly earn a Cameo
designation if it were untoned.Ex: George W. Cogan, March 17, 1883; T.
