1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-942, Pollock-1069. Rarity-8. Copper. Plain Edge. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). CAC. Obv: Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, a cap ornamented with two stars on her head and a ribbon emblazoned LIBERTY crossing her shoulder. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. LIBERTY is expressed in incuse letters, the point of Liberty's bust is close to the ribbon, and the top of the cap is below the left side of the final letter S in STATES. Rev: A wreath of corn and cotton surrounds the denomination 50 CENTS and the date 1870, the word STANDARD inscribed along the upper border. Toned a deep dark chocolate brown with mahogany and blue tinges in the fields. Boldly struck throughout with no signs of softness in the execution of the dies or coin. Free of all but minute traces of carbon that are blended into the patina and not at all distracting. Prohibitively rare and seldom seen - the uspatterns.com website accounts for only two or three examples of Judd-942 - and the present example boasts exceptional quality and eye appeal as well.
