- 1859 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-238, Pollock-294. Rarity-5. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-63 RB (PCGS). Obv:James Barton Longacre's "French Head of Liberty" design. A bust of Liberty faces right with a wreath of oak and vine leaves on her head, a ribbon or scroll inscribed LIBERTY crossing her right shoulder. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the date 1859 is below. Rev:A wreath of cereals encloses the denomination HALF DOLLAR. This upper end example retains an uncommon amount of original reddish-rose mint color, both sides also with splashes of warm olive-brown patina. Fully struck with a smooth, satiny appearance in hand, direct lighting calls forth modest semi-reflective qualities from the fields. Judd-238 in copper is scarcer than its silver counterpart (Judd-237), although with more than 30 specimens believed extant (per the uspatterns.comwebsite), this type is also relatively obtainable by pattern standards. PCGS Population: 2; 3 finer in this category (Proof-66 RB finest). PCGS# 11969. NGC ID: 29CJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
