- 1859 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-247, Pollock-286. Rarity-7+. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-63 (PCGS). Obv:Anthony C. Paquet's seated Liberty motif. Liberty is seated left, her outstretched right hand supporting a fasces and her left hand supporting a shield. An olive sprig and three arrows are present at the base of the shield. Thirteen stars encircle the periphery and the date 1859 is below. The digits 185 in the date are repunched. Rev:A wreath of cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, corn, wheat and oak leaves encloses the denomination HALF DOLLAR. Lightly toned in pale silver and iridescent gold, this is a universally reflective specimen with a sharp strike to virtually all design elements. Judd-247 was struck during the 1860s or 1870s from rusted dies, evidence of which is most pronounced on the present example throughout the wreath and at the upper border on the reverse. This is a scarce type with fewer than a half dozen silver impressions known per the website uspatterns.com. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Merena's) Ebenezer Milton Saunders Collection sale, November 1987, lot 458. PCGS Population: 2; 3 finer in this category (Proof-65 finest). PCGS# 11994. NGC ID: 29CU.
