Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Liberty is seated left with 13 stars around the periphery and the date below. Liberty is wearing a Native American headdress and supporting a liberty pole with her right hand, her left hand rests on a globe over which a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY is draped. A pair of flags is behind the portrait. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of cotton and corn encloses the denomination 5 CENTS, the word STANDARD above. Boldly struck and lightly toned with the warmest color reserved for the peripheries. As noted on the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website: "This [design] was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died in 1869. These were sold as part of complete sets from the half dime to the silver dollar." Only a dozen or so examples of this Judd number are extant.
