1870 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-928, Pollock-1033, High R.7, PR64+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. William Barber's always-popular Seated Liberty design. The obverse has Liberty seated left, surrounded by 13 stars with the date below. Liberty supports a shield with her right hand, and holds an olive sprig with her left hand. The shield is inscribed with the banner LIBERTY. The reverse displays a wreath of cotton and corn. 50 CENTS is located high within the wreath, and STANDARD is centered above. Struck in silver with a plain edge. This is a magnificent example with strong contrast between the frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields. Almost brilliant, there is just the vaguest suggestion of light reddish patina on each side.
