Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> The Liberty Seated type that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1862 half dollars. <strong>Rev:</strong> Similar to the regular issue type of the year, but with the addition of the motto GOD OUR TRUST on a scroll above the eagle. Boldly struck virtually everywhere including Liberty's tresses and drapery, the eagle's plumage and talons, the horizontal and vertical elements on both shields, and all of the obverse stars, each of which shows its divisions. The frosty motifs contrast nicely with the reflective fields. Steel to slate gray toning overall with pleasing blue and gold accents.
