- 1859 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-235, Pollock-282. Rarity-5. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-63 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. 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:An eagle with outstretched wings and a shield on its breast clutches an olive sprig in its right talon and three long, slender arrows in its left talon. The eagle holds a scroll inscribed with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak, the scroll perfect as opposed to broken, and the eagle's left wing tip pointed as opposed to rounded. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the denomination HALF DOLLAR is below. This richly original specimen is dressed in mottled steel-olive and pewter gray patina that yields to more vivid powder blue and pinkish-silver undertones at direct lighting angles. Razor sharp in striking detail with semi-reflective fields and superior eye appeal at the assigned grade level. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from Superior's PCGS Sale, September 1987, lot 5336. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 15; 16 finer (Proof-65 finest). PCGS# 11960. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
