1879 Morgan Half Dollar, PR65 Red
Judd-1602, Copper

1879 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1602, Pollock-1797, R.7, PR65 Red PCGS. The obverse is a smaller scale version of the regular issue 1879 Morgan dollar obverse. For the reverse, an eagle with lowered wings clutches an olive branch and a cluster of arrows. IN GOD WE TRUST is widely distributed across the reverse border, along with other statutory legends. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. The strike is good, if slightly soft in the centers. A few freckles of russet toning near the chin, otherwise the brick-red color is consistent throughout aside from a hint of olive color on the reverse. Magnificently preserved. A desirable Judd variety, since Morgan Dollar patterns are an important specialty, and other advanced collectors acquire 1879 pattern types (Stella, Schoolgirl, Washlady).
