Obv: Liberty head facing right with star on head, Motto on raised ribbon below and surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Rev: Standard Silver reverse die, with 50 / CENTS within an open laurel and oak wreath with date below, STANDARD SILVER surrounds. The obverse and reverse show rich russet-gold toning with tinges of blue at the rims. Full watery mirror fields and frosty devices add to the eye appeal.
