Patterns
1870 50C Half Dollar, Judd-936, Pollock-1042, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. William Barber's seated figure of Liberty faces left on the obverse. Thirteen stars surround Liberty with the date below. Liberty supports a shield with her right hand and holds an olive branch in her left. A Liberty pole is behind the shield, and a scroll crosses the shield, inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. The reverse is the type used for regular issue Seated halves. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Slightly more than a dozen examples of this pattern variety are known, although only a small number of those will equal or exceed this lovely Gem. Both sides are fully mirrored with delicate bluish-violet toning over the deep orange mint surfaces.
