Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> William Barber's portrait of Liberty seated to the left with an olive sprig in her left hand, right hand supports a shield with ribbon inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. A free-standing liberty pole with cap is behind the portrait, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border, and the date 1870 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Liberty Seated half dimes of the era. Steel gray and charcoal surfaces exhibit lively blue and champagne pink iridescence in a bright light source. Only about a dozen examples are known of this elusive variety.
