Lot Description

1862 Pattern Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Judd-294, Pollock-352. Rarity-7-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-63 BN (NGC). The design is similar to that used on regular issue 1862 Liberty Seated half dollars, but a scroll with the motto GOD OUR TRUST has been added in the reverse field above the eagle's head. Both sides of this needle sharp specimen show rich mahogany-brown color with cobalt-blue accents within the devices. Just a few microscopic hairlines are seen at certain light angles, these serving to limit the grade. PCGS# 60444. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of May 2012, lot 4668.
