Losbeschreibung

<strong>Obv:</strong> Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed on a scroll below. Liberty is wearing a diadem inscribed LIBERTY and her hair is tied in a bun. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of corn and cotton surrounds the denomination 50 CENTS and the date 1870, the word STANDARD inscribed along the upper border. This is a handsome Gem Proof with faded rose-red undertones that are more prevalent on the reverse. Otherwise warmly toned in antique copper and powder blue, both sides are a bit lightly struck in the centers, yet sharp to full elsewhere. The <em>uspatterns.com</em> website observes that examples of this type were originally sold as part of Standard Silver pattern Proof sets. Judd-954 is a significant rarity today with fewer than half a dozen specimens believed extant.
