Extremely Rare 1839 Pattern Half Dollar Judd-102 1839 Pattern Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Judd-102, Pollock-113. Rarity-7+. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-66 (NGC). CAC. Obv: The regular issue Liberty Seated half dollar design with extra folds of drapery at Liberty's left elbow. Rev:An eagle flies to the left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the denomination HALF DOLLAR below. This is an originally toned Gem, both sides dressed in pretty reddish-apricot iridescence with blushes of cobalt blue here and there around the peripheries. Frosty to semi-prooflike in finish with silky smooth surfaces and outstanding eye appeal. Examples of this type are believed to have been prepared in the late 1860s and/or early 1870s for sale to collectors, the obverse die with considerable evidence of rust both throughout Liberty's portrait and in the surrounding field, the reverse die shattered with several prominent bisecting cracks (all of these features are as made). A rare type, Judd-102 has an extant population of only a half dozen coins per the website uspatterns.com. This is an outstanding specimen, both technically and aesthetically, and it is sure to sell for a strong bid to an advanced collector. Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Lemus Collection, Queller Family Collection Part Two, January 2009 FUN Auction, lot 1527. NGC Census: just 1; with a single Proof-67 * finer. PCGS# 11434. NGC ID: 297J. Click here for certification details from NGC.
