Description du lot

<strong>Obv:</strong> 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. A tiny B for the designer (Barber) is within the ribbon folds. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed on a scroll below. The letters in the word GOD are widely repunched. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of laurel and oak encircles the denomination 50 CENTS with the inscription STANDARD SILVER around and the date 1869 below. This handsome, otherwise silver-olive specimen reveals iridescent undertones of vivid blue, pinkish-rose and champagne-apricot colors when the surfaces dip into direct lighting. With several dozen specimens known, the Judd-742 is a great entry point into the expansive series of pattern and experimental issues.
