Lot Description

1862 Pattern Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Judd-295, Pollock-353. Rarity-5. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-62 (PCGS). Obv: Design of regular-issue Seated half dollar. Rev: Similar to regular-issue dies but the inscription GOD OUR TRUST is above the reverse eagle in the field, not on a ribbon as later. Both sides are steeped in a slightly variegated gunmetal-blue and green patina with shimmering undertones of magenta hue here and there. There are no individually distracting handling marks or blemishes, only a number of scattered hairlines in the fields. PCGS# 60445. Provenance: From the Argo Collection.
