The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-937, Pollock-1044. Rarity-7+. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). Liberty is seated left on the obverse, her right hand supporting a shield over which a scroll inscribed LIBERTY is draped and her left hand holding an olive branch. A free-standing liberty pole is behind the portrait. Thirteen stars encircle the periphery and the date 1870 is below. The reverse is the same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1870 Seated Liberty Half Dollars. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge.<br />     This rare type has an extant population of fewer than six coins (per the website uspatterns.com). Fully struck with strong field-to-device contrast, this is a beautiful Gem in all regards. There is no toning apart from the lightest pale-silver tinting that is easily overlooked at most angles. Finest certified!
