- Incredible 1877 Judd-1516 Half Dollar Popular Morgan Half Dollar 1877 Pattern Morgan Half Dollar. Judd-1516, Pollock-1680. Rarity-7+. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-66 (NGC). CAC. Obv: Head of Liberty that is similar to that adopted for the regular issue Morgan silver dollar in 1878, modified in size to fit this planchet stock. There is an inner beaded circle around Liberty, within which is the date below, the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above, and 13 stars arranged six left, seven right. Rev:Engraver George T. Morgan's spread wing eagle with large feathers. The eagle stands upon a scroll inscribed with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, from which extends an olive branch and lightening bolt arrows. Surrounding the eagle is a beaded peripheral circle with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and the denomination HALF DOLLAR below. A warmly and attractively toned specimen with direct lighting calling forth the most vivid iridescence. There is some light striking at the center, typical of this variety, and detracting little from the quality or eye appeal of this lovely premium Gem.
