- 1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-940, Pollock-1053. Rarity-6+. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Obv:Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, a cap ornamented with two stars on her head and a ribbon emblazoned LIBERTY crossing her shoulder. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. LIBERTY is expressed in incuse letters, and the top of the cap is below the final letter S in STATES. Rev:A wreath of corn and cotton surrounds the denomination 50 CENTS and the date 1870, the word STANDARD inscribed along the upper border. Lovely iridescent cobalt blue and champagne-pink undertones enliven otherwise silver-mauve and olive-gray surfaces as the coin dips into a light. Universally reflective in finish with a sharply executed strike. Far scarcer than its Judd-939 reeded edge counterpart in numismatic hands, Judd-940 has an extant population of fewer than a dozen specimens per the uspatterns.comwebsite. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 4 finer in this category (Proof-66+ finest). PCGS# 61186. NGC ID: 29YC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
