1882 Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-1700, PR64
Morgan's Shield Earring Design

1882 50C Shield Earring Half Dollar, Judd-1700, Pollock-1902, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS. The Shield Earring design of George T. Morgan. A youthful Liberty faces right wearing a band with the usual inscription, the band compressing the back portion of her hair. She wears a shield-shaped earring, with stars six left, seven right, date 1882 below. On the reverse a perched, defiant eagle occupies the center, clutching an olive branch and arrows. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR are the peripheral legends. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Saul Teichman's photo file depicts 11 specimens, with the present coin as #10, first photographed in an August 1998 Bowers and Merena auction. Olive-green and wheat-gold toning alternate across satiny, unblemished surfaces. The strike is shy of complete above Liberty's ear.
