Lot 1321
1838 Pattern Half Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. Judd-72. Pollock-75. PCGS graded Proof 58. Natural even toning. This one appears to have circulated for a short while, but still, all of the fancy head curls and sharp feathers on the eagle show plainly, as this piece was struck only in Proof (not meant to be spent). The graceful design is by none other than the mint's fabled engraver, Christian Gobrecht, who was employed there until 1844. Pop 3; 26 finer; 5 in 62; 11 in 63; 7 in 64. (PCGS # 11282) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700.
