详细说明: 1864 Pattern Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Judd-392, Pollock-460. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 BN (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Obv: The same design that the Mint used to produce regular issue 1864 Liberty Seated half dollars. Rev:Similar to the regular issue design of 1864, but with the addition of a scroll inscribed with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST in the field above the eagle. This is the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue Liberty Seated half dollar production in 1866. A boldly toned, richly original near-Gem bathed in a blend of golden-brown, steel-brown and antique copper. Direct lighting calls forth semi-reflective tendencies in the fields and vivid undertones of salmon pink and cobalt blue iridescence. Fully struck with abundant eye appeal. Judd-392 is one of the so-called transitional half dollar patterns of 1863 to 1865, all of which are actually restrikes circa 1869 into the early 1870s that the Mint prepared expressly for sale to contemporary collectors as part of pattern Proof sets. Copper impressions dated 1864, as here, have an extant population of only a dozen or so examples. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS Population: 2; with a single Proof-66 BN finer in this category. PCGS# 60563. NGC ID: 29HE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
