Description
1882 Half Dollar in Copper
Judd-1701, PR62 Red
Morgan's Shield Earring Design
Sole Certified Red Example
1882 50C Shield Earring Half Dollar, Judd-1701, Pollock-1903,
R.7, PR62 Red PCGS. Ex: Simpson. George Morgan's popular design
features Liberty wearing a broad band holding her hair tightly to
her head. The eponymous Shield Earring is seen dangling from
Liberty's ear in the center obverse. The reverse shows a defiant
eagle with raised wings. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This
is one of Morgan's most celebrated pattern designs, and is eagerly
pursued by pattern collectors. The design was also issued in
silver, as Judd-1700. USPatterns.com pedigrees 11 specimens of
Judd-1700 and seven examples of Judd-1701. The present lot is the
sole Judd-1701 pattern certified as Red by PCGS (11/20). NGC also
shows a solitary Red example, but that is the same coin, since
broken out of its NGC holder from its appearance in our May 2009
Signature. This is a splendid orange-gold representative with
blushes of cherry-red in protected regions. The strike is good
though shy of complete. Unobtrusive field hairlines limit the
grade.Ex: King Farouk; Palace Collection (Sotheby's, 3/1954), group lot 2008; Hans M.F. Schulman; M.H. Bolender; Frank M. Stirling Collection / Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2009), lot 1446.
