- 1869 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-749, Pollock-832. Rarity-6+. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Obv:Standard Silver design with a right facing bust of Liberty as the focal device. Liberty is wearing a diadem inscribed LIBERTY and her hair is tied in a bun. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. Rev:A wreath of oak and laurel leaves encircles the denomination 50 CENTS, the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Breathtakingly beautiful surfaces exhibit strong cameo contrast between mirrored fields and frosty design elements. The centers are untoned, the peripheries adorned with iridescent golden-copper that further enhances already memorable eye appeal. A fully struck, pristine-looking specimen that will please even the most discerning numismatist. Judd-749 is scarcer than its reeded edge silver counterpart (Judd-748) with an extant population of fewer than a dozen coins (per the website uspatterns.com). Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Ebenezer Milton Saunders Collection sale, November 1987, lot 461. PCGS Population: just 1; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 388784.
