1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-742A, Pollock-830, R.8, PR60 PCGS. A bust of Liberty faces right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around and a scroll with IN GOD WE TRUST below. Liberty wears a cap ornamented with two large stars. William Barber's initial "B" is not seen within the folds of the ribbon at the back of the cap. The reverse has 50 CENTS centered within a wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This rare variety was apparently first discovered in the Morris Evans Collection in 1998. So far it is only known in silver and with a reeded edge. Deep freckled gray-blue toning covers most of each side. The fields are only moderately reflective, but there are no obvious contact marks present.
