Lot 1189
1859 Pattern Half Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. Judd-245. Pollock-301. Low Rarity 6. NGC graded Proof 64. Lovely blue toning on both sides. The obverse has Liberty facing right with a leafy crown and a ribbon over her shoulder inscribed LIBERTY. The date is below and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds the periphery. For the reverse there is an eagle with a shield over his chest inscribed with a ribbon draped reading E PLURIBUS UNUN, below is HALF DOLLAR and around the upper portion again reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The strike is a trifle soft on the reverse center, but the eye appeal is strong for the old blue and rose toning on both sides. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 66.
