- 1863 Pattern Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Judd-339, Pollock-411. Rarity-6-. Copper. Reeded Edge. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). CAC. Obv:The design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1863 Liberty Seated half dollars. Rev:Similar to the regular issue design, but the motto GOD OUR TRUST is inscribed on a scroll in the upper field. Handsome deep copper patina blankets both sides, the surfaces revealing brighter rose-orange undertones as the coin dips into a light. Fully struck and expertly preserved, this desirable Gem would make an impressive addition to an advanced Liberty Seated half dollar collection of specialized pattern set. Although a small number of silver strikings of this type are originals that date to 1863 the copper examples, as here, are thought to be restrikes (likely from the late 1860s or 1870s) prepared specifically for sale to collectors. Survivors are rare in all grades, and this is one of the finest certified. Provenance: Ex Simpson Collection. PCGS Population: 2; 2 finer in this category (Proof-66+ BN finest). PCGS# 60501.
