The reverse wreath, a larger version of what appeared on the Seated Liberty dimes starting in 1860 frames a large 1/2 DOLLAR. These half dollar patterns, struck in silver with a reeded edge, were struck in some quantity, as these are listed as Rarity-4. Flashy, boldly reflective fields have a luscious watery finish. Splashes of original patina on both sides attest to the totally original look of this GEM. The eye appeal is bold and very high end. PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 4.
