Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed on a scroll below. Liberty is wearing a headband inscribed LIBERTY and ornamented with a single star. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of oak and laurel leaves encircles the denomination 50 CENTS, the inscription STANDARD SILVER above and the date 1869 below. Originally and beautifully toned silver-apricot and powder blue surfaces display a boldly cameoed finish. According to the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website, this type was initially distributed as part of multi-denomination pattern Proof sets for $15/set. While Judd-754 is fairly plentiful by pattern standards, few are as carefully preserved and aesthetically pleasing as that offered here.
